Low-Pressure Mechanical Cycling is a highly specialized, non-destructive conditioning service engineered exclusively for a specific class of one-piece alloy bats: those built with internal restriction rings, governing sleeves, or viscoelastic dampening layers. ​To pass strict BBCOR or youth certifications, many manufacturers build an alloy barrel that is intentionally "too hot," then glue internal metal rings, composite sleeves, or dampening foam inside the sweet spot to physically choke the wall's flexibility.

Your composite baseball or softball bat is heated before it is rolled and, if needed, heated intermittently during the accelerated break-in (ABI) process. This gives your bat a more uniform break-in and helps prevent any breakage during the heat roll.

The natural break-in (NBI) service we provide is the longer and more laborious method to breaking in your bat. We put at least 300 hits on your bat using tee-work, soft-toss, and pitch machine. We use different and progressive levels of power during this break-in process and rotate the bat an 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch per hit. This provides a more balanced natural break-in.

We can test any and all baseball and softball bats. We have separate and specific testers for baseball bats and softball bats to get correct readings. Rolled and non-rolled bats.

Do you need a greater understanding of how the correct swing works? We talk, learn, and practice correct swing mechanics by breaking down each phase of the swing, all the while allowing you to keep your individual style and character. No robots here! We help identify movements and thought processes hindering or helping the hitter (real vs. feel). 30 minute sessions.
