Can someone explain to me why this bat is called "non-linear" ?
I have read it is related to a dual wall thing, but aren't other bats like blackout a dual wall? And those test fine.
I have also read posts of boys comp testing them and they passed at 265, so not too sure what the original hoopla was for either.
If someone could answer with some detail what makes the design so special and unique.
Demarini calls it their "Divergence" tech, but I can't find a definition of WTF that exactly is anywhere.

But aren't there other doublewall bats out there which can be tested?
Either way, sounds like I should be fine unless planning to swing it in a comp tested tourney. Here it is no pass, no use. Period. No exceptions are being planned for this stick, I've asked.

It's not the walls it's the design that is separated by a gap, has an internal component, or something of the like. Combat uses a ring, DeMarini the floating dual barrel, TPS uses a floating disc suspended by a rod. Those are all non-linear bats.
The aftermath tests around 250 or so NIW, but drop significantly after some swings...well below 225.
The point of divergence tech is to generate spin and thus increasing distance. It appears the tech information is down from DeMarini.com, or at least I can't get to it on my phone.
Exit speeds are still within the limit, thats why they're legal. In other words, and an idiom we've probably all heard, there's more than one way to skin a cat.

All I have to say is PLEASE don't blast me with one of these if I throw you a cookie over the plate in a 3-1 count! lol...When your standing on the mound, ALOT of bats seem hot. We don't need even hotter ones, especially in the hands of hitters with minimal bat control

How would you shave a flipper? Wouldn't removing the end cap negate the benefits of the divergence Tech?
The inner barrel is fixed and not floating. i would assume you would shave the inner barrel. Not sure how that would affect re mounting the inner barrel. Also they break pretty easy i would think they would not last for very long shaved.
