Shaving the wood of a Baseball bat can be done with a lathe or a plane. A plane can be purchased in a store and is smaller. Hold the plane up to the bat and push down on the plane lengthwise.

You start the process by removing the end cap from the bat. The bat is placed in a lathe and the inside wall of the bat is shaved. You ususally just take about .020 off of the inside wall.

What is the difference between slow pitch softball and regular softball?

Slowpitch Softball is played using a high-arc pitching technique where the ball slowly falls into the strike-zone. Slowpitch speeds range from 25mph-35mph. Fastpitch Softball a windmill pitching technique is used that increases that speed of the pitch significantly and allows the pitcher to throw different kinds of pitches like drop, rise, curve, screw, and change. Fastpitch speed range from usually 50mph-65mph. The rules are basically the same, minus some variations in batting. In slow pitch if you foul off the third strike you are out. In fastpitch the strike is not called until you swing with no contact with the ball. Both require different equipment. EX:A fastpitch bat is different from a slowpitch bat. Slow Pitch...the coach pitches it and fast pitch....one of the teammates pitches it! :)
