Cant remember where I saw it, but read somewhere about one of these umps that claimed he could pick out a rolled bat with the paper trick. Someone handed him a brand new bat that had just been taken out of the wrapper without telling him and he insisted it had been rolled.
Dents, wiggles, visible cracks, bat rattles, sure I will pull them. I am not however going to claim that I can take a piece of paper and feel a bat and be 100% correct that it has been rolled. Besides, I thought ASA developed a tester for rolled bats that was used at gold nationals last year.
