PROS

CONS

Bottom Line

Most experience out of all reviewed bat shavers. Good pricing, BBB accredited, Guarantees work, 4 levels of shaving, Rush service, and compression results with every bat.

None we could pass along. If they could be the lowest priced out there they would have a full 5 stars.

Big Dawg has been shaving bats for longer than every other company and has solid testimonials with an A+ BBB rating. They have the most information about bat shaving and seem to be the most knowledgeable out of all the sites. This was the most legitimate site we looked at; that is why it is an Editor's Choice.

Price:

Bat Shaving:

$89

Bat Rolling:

How long in business bat shaving:

12 Years

Better Business Bureau rating:

A+

“We guarantee that you’ll be 100% satisfied with our Workmanship. If your bat is damaged by our service beyond cosmetics we will replace your bat. If your bat’s performance is lacking we will re-shave it at no cost. This guarantee does not cover bat breakage during customer usage.”

Guarantee

Big Dawg bats has a clear guarantee but I believe it should say something about replacing a bat if it is damaged during the bat shaving service. (Update: 1/19/2021 bat replacement)

Reviews

Reviews can be skewed to one side or another and most people only review when there is something negative that happens. Positive reviews usually means the company went above and beyond the normal. Most reviews are taken with a grain of salt and have to be analyzed by the reader as legitimate or not.

Big Dawg Bats is the only bat shaving company accredited by Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating. They were the only site to have a few positive verified BBB reviews. They also have some note-worthy testimonials on their web page. Their blog page is packed with articles on just about every subject relating to bat shaving, along with many videos. They have the most bat shaving information out of any site we reviewed, which indicates a commitment to their work. Oddly enough, they were even on ESPN doing some bat rolling. Big Dawg is on the lower end of the spectrum as far as price, which is also nice. Their longevity, knowledge, and a strong sense of reliability are why we made them an editor's choice.

Big Dawg Bats did a great job fixing my son’s bat. I had tried unsuccessfully twice before but to no avail. They were both quick and thorough. Thanks again Big Dawg. I now have a happy camper!

Great selection and service. I’ve bought a new bat for my son every year (darned rule changes) and Big Dawg always get us set up and the bat broken in. In fact this year I was late in ordering and the Big Dawg team turned around an order in 4 days.

Have bought multiple bats from big dawg and all performed beyond expectation. People complain about how my bat broke after a few games or hits well then dont get it shaved. They do what they are asked to do and get the bat back very quickly. Only company i will use for this service.
