If my bat has a slight glue rattle which is seems like, does it affect the bats performance and can I remove it or will it be fine leaving it, I can turn the bat upside down and back and I hear something rattling down the barrel but it sounds soft like glue from what I’ve been told. Please if you can respond to that question that’d be great thank you
It will not affect performance. Always leave a rattle unless it is too severe or your league will not allow it in play. At that point use your warranty if you have one.
No.....Easton is a bit different. Different end cap Different knob Generally with Easton you need to sacrifice the end cap to get into the bat then replace the cap with a new cap when ready to reassemble. Some can remove a cap and reuse it and that's fine too.
Once it’s shaved it can’t be hidden unless they try to repaint the inside. Shaving leaves distinct marks. I haven’t seen one cut open in 15yrs though so it’s a rarity.
Just like I explained in the video Remove the knob Use a steel rod and knock the weight through the handle down into the barrel Use the same steel rod to knock the cap out through the handle and barrel
Well unless I missed it, you didn’t say that part. I seen where you knock the weight into the barrel. Not actually knocking the cap out. Did you do anything to loosen the adhesive?
Yeah you missed that part. All you do is use something to push the cap out through the handle and barrel. You can loosen the adhesive with heat if you like.
Yeah, that part definitely wasn't in the video. It was alluded to and then he went off on a tangent about marine epoxy and Miken's cap filler. (the only other reference was with like 10 seconds left in the video where he said "go through the handle and pop the cap off" which still could mean a number of other things that can damage the cap.
@Taylor Thompson you made a comment about shaved bats being the reason you can’t hit with half of yours. You do understand that just because someone shaves a bat they don’t band every bat of its type. It’s probably because you have outdated bats that don’t have new USSSA stamps. You mite want to spend more time learning to use your glove and less time reading article about players getting hit with shaved bats. You could always play right field in a church league or maybe just keep score. Whatever you choose keep yourself safe and have fun.
You MIGHT want to learn to spell when you’re talking shit and calling someone out. I have no dog in this fight but get a fuckin education. If I wanna be a real smart ass I’d say maybe he saves hit bombs for the ones he drops in your wife. Stop talking shit on a video 8 people watched and get a fuckin life or concentrate on your E rec ball that you treat as life or death if you win.
The 2013 and newer bats are so hot and practically failing compression anyways. Why shave them I can easily hit a ball 300 ft. I think you will really shorten the bat life. In 2021 bat shaving will become popular with the newer 140 stamp.
@@8skep1productions I was confused also but the bat was had less than 50 swings and it out of no where on a swing the end cap came off and and the black liner came flying out. I sent for warranty it was corrected but same thing happened again. It's a Miken KF30 2015
@@miguelirizarry38 I remember that now....this was the older KF30 one piece. Similar problems were happening with the 1 piece psycho. The cap and the sleeve we're coming out.
It's not going to be cool if you seriously hurt someone with this bat and they decide to test it and find out you altered it and get charged with a crime. Its happened before and I'm sure itll happen again.
@@8skep1productions Its assault with a deadly weapon ...happened here in sac ...ended up plea deal paying the ladies medical costs ....there was another one but the judge ruled against saying (paraphasing) that the pitcher accepts the risk of getting hit
Victory Lane, Phoenix az. I think it was 2015 or 2016. And pitcher not wearing a mask got hit up the middle on field 3. I dont know the outcome but I did read that the guy was arrested because he knowingly used a modified bat that caused this guys injures. The held him responsible for medical and dental bills. If you use a shaved bat, you're a huge pussy who doesn't know how to hit and you're the reason they have banned bat lists. I cant use half of my bats because of bitches like you who got shaving their bats.
Thank you for the education on this matter - we are looking to out players who do this in our leagues and put any and all stops into place
So which type of adhesive is best ?
Nice video, well explained
OMG!! I took a few naps, during this. Get to the point, and GO!!
Just spit it out! Come on!
Hey man, i hit my Louisville slugger superz on the end cap and it seems like the floating inner barrel came loose.
Do you fix bats?
Good video
whats the best to glue end cap on, windshield adhesive or marine 5200
Great video!!! 2022👌🏼
Did you confirm how much weight is added to the bat with that aluminum slug and the birdshot? Is it 2 ounces in total?

No warranty, 2015 mikes freak black, but yea it’s allowed in league, thanks again for the reply so far it’s still hitting missiles
@@dmartine88 No problem....keep using it til you can't.
It’s probably dead
Dude loves to talk
Would this be the same for an Easton Brian Wegman flex ?
No.....Easton is a bit different. Different end cap
Different knob
Generally with Easton you need to sacrifice the end cap to get into the bat then replace the cap with a new cap when ready to reassemble. Some can remove a cap and reuse it and that's fine too.
What size pin punch can I use to remove the pin in the knob?
What do they use to hide it was shaved? What is the black stuff hiding the bat wall?
Once it’s shaved it can’t be hidden unless they try to repaint the inside. Shaving leaves distinct marks. I haven’t seen one cut open in 15yrs though so it’s a rarity.
But how did you get the cap off?

You can actually boil the cap it softens the glue and you can use a box cutt and a flat blade to pop it off

And for fact the OG Freak doesn’t have a new stamp for Utrip and is the hottest bar ever made.
Obviously you use cut shit. I wish you were in Maryland bud cause if you hit one at me on the mound with some shaved shit I’m gonna beat you with it.
What is the best adhesive to glue the handle and barrel together? My Miken 4 the fallen collapsed and I'm curious what should be used to glue it.
I would do some research online and see what you can find.
Marine epoxy
@@8skep1productions I've looked all over online and didn't seem to be able to find any specific adhesive.

In several cases bat shaving and additional techniques can actually extend bat life.
Does anyone know what I could put on a crack bat, has small crack and wouldn’t want it to expand
Nothing just leave it and let it run its course
Spray it with pine tar. Right on the spot. May keep it alive for a little bit
I have a kf30 and the black liner broke from the inside and on a swing the whole thing came out from the handle.
