I was lucky enough to perform this in 2009 with Kelly McK and it was really amazing how that piece of paper adds to the sense of feeling.
It does not guarantee that you will catch a rolled bat in this manner, but there is a discernable set of ridges you can feel with that paper. Having been challenged locally and performed for commissioner and players. They provided the bats without any knowledge to me which was rolled.
They were shocked that I got it right, but insisted on carrying the player's denial that it wasn't possible and I got lucky.
It should be noted that it provides such a delicate sense that you can feel the decals under the coating, so I recommend it be done on the taper were there rarely decals of any type.
