The demo video is just a demonstration of how to roll the bat. Don't think you have to go two turns to make the bat better. Most bats may need no more than
1 turn. I would suggest starting out with 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn, hit the bat and then go from there til you are happy. Don't just go straight in and say
"I gotta go 2 right away." You are looking for trouble if you do. There are new bats coming out all the time. You are going to have to use common
sense.

So is it true you changed the tread type, from the one on the video? So 2 turns equals 1 turn on the new tread type. Peopell should know that

Upgraded threads! | ||

We upgraded the threads to acme. It is a little different. Seems 1 turn is working well. Maybe even 3/4 of a turn. I send an email with every machine shipment
mentioning the fact that you should try 1 turn max and evaluate results. All emails go to the email provided by PayPal when you make your payment. We put acme
in there to make the threads last longer and allow you to add more pressure when you need to. We are getting good results with 3/4 of a turn ot compression
right now. All bats are different. I may have to come back later and roll it again with more compression. It varies bat to bat. I really thought I was letting
people know not to overdo the bats when I posted this. 2 is not out of the question on some bats. 3/4 has been working very well. I go 1/2 then roll it a
bunch, then I go to 3/4 and roll it a bunch more. I am using no tape on the rollers and the machine turns the bat with no problems at all. If the bat won't
turn, it is too tight. The bat is so out of shape, it's not gonna turn no matter what.

Ever think of installing a steering wheel type of turning handle? I think steering wheel handles would make perpendicular and parallel rolling 100 times easier
and faster for the individual doing the work. If I get to purchase one of your new 200PCCR machines I'll make the change myself. Also I hear some of the
posters on this board and others claiming about the wheels slipping and the bat not turning as it should on the new acme wheels and its scratching the bat. I
have a rubber 2 1/2 inch sleeve that's actually a fuel hose from a gas farm that would fit around the intended rolling area of the bat head and eliminate
roller slips and scratches. Compression on the rubber between the bat and rollers should do the job and eliminate any type of slipping and scratching. Plus the
steering wheel should definitely make it easier to turn and hold the bat at the same time. Please contact me so I can buy retrofit one of your machines.
Please email me Tarboroheel1 to add my name to your patent regarding the steering and rubber additions.
Thank you LOL  LOL

The latest 200PCCR Parallel Roller | ||
|
Posts: 2 (10/13/08 08:19:03) |
I just order my new 200PCCR Parallel Rolling the one with the 2 rollers on the top and 1 roller on the bottom. Is this the machine with the new threads? If
so......how many turn do i started with then. I'm just assuming that if they came out with a new/upgraded model (with new roller configuration and newer
threads) that they would change the model number or something.

Yes, sounds like you got the right one. I find most bats max at 3/4 turn. Miken 282 and 585 crack at 1.25 turns without making a sound.

Great! The first bat I was going to roll was a Miken Maniac 484. So the other Miken Maniac's start cracking at 1.25 turns. Maybe i should do my Freak Plus
first.

i rolled my Maniac 484 at 1 full turn.
I always roll Perppendicular(PD) first, 3/4 turn MAX Then the parallel(PL) roll. For the Maniac, i PD/roll then PL/roll it 1 full turn max and the ball is a rocket! Try 1/2 turn for a 30 seconds 2/3 for 1 minute 1 full at 1 minute. Youve got a monster! |
