Bat shaving is the process of removing the bat’s end cap and thinning out the inner walls in order to increase the trampoline effect. Shaving a bat shortens a bat’s life because you’re making the walls of the bat, which help create durability, thinner. But, bat shaving adds (on average) 40 feet of distance to hit balls and increases exit velocity.
