Shaved bats sound different. Look at the end cap. You may see a pry mark in the composite or the plastic cap. Yes you can tell!! Some done way better than others, hard to tell, look close.
I play slowpitch Mens C/D It is a huge problem. My good friend got drilled by a liner back up the box. Hit in temple, many surgeries, and a life flight right off the field.
All done, so some jack a$$ can hit a softball 300+ feet and win a t-shirt!! My Hero!!
All fastpitch leagues, travel, college, and etc. should use a softer softball, It has worked in slowpitch to some extent. Then it will matter a lot less how good the bat is. Kinda like Wood bats from the old school days. Mike Candrea has come out against composite bats. He thinks we should ban them. I agree!!
There is never time to do it right the first time, but there is always time to do it again!!
