Which Bat Rollers are best for Bat Rolling?

Here is an example of a Perpendicular Bat Roller



This design is very popular with the bat rolling community and is widely used. By compressing the inner core of the bat in a perpendicular motion you better simulate the natural break-in process of the bat. If a bat is rolled in a parallel motion the inner-core is crack around the entire barrel. This has been shown to drastically decrease the life of a bat. Picture it this way, if you wanted to cut a bat in half which way would you cut it? The is exactly the same reason you don't want to buy a bat rolling machine that stresses a bat in this direction.
