Does Jon Kilburn Swing Shaved Bats?

Posted by Curious Ballplayer on May 15, 2018, 8:54 am

I've heard a bunch of people busting his balls over the years. Does anybody know the truth?

You cannot in Conference for sure they check them. I play league around town with him. Never seen it, he swings a legit bat. No roll , no shave he takes a ton of rips during the week.

How do you know it's NOT rolled or shaved? Other than taking his word.

He has figured out a way of injecting nitrogen thru the endcap that beats all test.

Anytime you'd like to cut open my bat, feel free. There is nothing special about my bats. I own a tester and test it regularly.

Nitrogen by the way, would have 0 affect on a bat...

Most of the time during the week I play ASA anyway...if you read my post about shaved bats, you'll see that the physics behind a shaved bat, really don't make sense for low compression balls, such as the 52/275 M+ or the ASA 52/300. I also swing a Monsta Torch for ASA so shaving would not help with the FIB. My Eastons are returned when they fail compression or break and Easton, Miken, Worth and Wilson ALL reserve the right to open up a bat that fails to check for doctoring.

Why would I risk all the money spent on Conference over a shaved bat? I wouldn't.

Cheers.

All I know is this - you couldn't hit homeruns in past years and now you're dropping dick on command. How else do you explain it? I heard about the Nitrogen thing too. What the hell? Get your ass in the gym life everyone else and stop cheating!

LOL...wow man. Have you seen me lately? I'm 210 and in REAL shape and not a fat ass, like I used to be. Believe what you'd like, because you will anyway.

It took me 2 years to get healthy. Not a week. It would be a different story if I was the same guy I was 2 years ago, but I'm not.

As for the Nitrogen BS...what the hell would Nitrogen gas have to do with improving a bat's performance? Nothing..

It's all good - if you can sleep at night being a cheater then that is on you to deal with. Something just isn't adding up here. Base hitter to bomb dropper - really.

I'm not A-bomb dropper. I'm somebody who spent 2 and a 1/2 years working out and learning to hit. I hit hundreds upon hundreds of balls every week. I average an hour and a 1/2 to 2 hours of work out and BP every day.

It's called hard work you should try it sometime

Again, WHY would I? Do you understand how much money I spend on Conference...we're talking an average of 50K (last year nearly double that)...that investment is jeopardized by shaved bats, because if you get caught you LOSE YOUR CONTRACT. Anyone who plays for me, knows this. I warn all my players day 1. You cheat, you're gone.

But obviously in this day and age, no one believes in hard work, because shaved bats make a bat hitter good. However, those who know me, DO know the time I have put in to get better and the work it's taken.

I don't care what anyone here thinks. I care what my players and my bat manufacturer (Easton) thinks. Helmer knows me, and that I'm honest. THAT is what matters most to me.

Isn't Pencil Whipping your stats still cheating?

Are you taking any prescription only supplements to help with the workout?

I got a Bowflex about 9 months ago, once I get all my laundry and other crap off of it... look out softball community!!! It also came with 4 30min instructional videos by my good buddy Chuck Norris that I am giving some serious consideration to watching someday.
