i doubt it is weighted or anything like that.. corking it wouldn't make it land like that i am sure it is one of thoose freak accidents that will never ever happen again...
hahaha its completely possible guyssss. The bat is cupped at the end like this...
so it can easily sit like that
and a lot of pro players have bats that are a lot heavier towards the tip of the bat so if they can swing it they can get a ton more power from the bat. Light handle, heavy barrel=POWER. So throwin it straight up itll usually land barrel first.
