    bending the bat

    I would never have imagined that a baseball bat would bend after contact with the ball. This was a pop fly foul ball too. What kind of bend would a HR have?

    Re: bending the bat

    Something has to give. If you look at the shot I had a few weeks ago you'd see that the ball also distorts when contact is made. The one I got had no bat bending but the ball being crushed, guess I was too early for the bending bat part of it.

    Nice catch there Scott. I'd use the shadow adjustment to lighten things up a bit on it.
    Good job though!
