For kicks, I'll post a clip that I think shows significant bend right at the point of initiating the barrel back to the catcher.

I believe it was with a wood bat that one of the former minor league players was swinging on a tape I made. I'll look for it.

That's interesting--could be an issue with technique. If the bat itself bends while it's being torqued is that an argument for any differences in mechanics between metal and wood?
