 The Zapper was used by many who pulled the ball too much. Some tried to use it to force a pull hit, but that didn't work to well.

From what I remember when those first came out (early-mid 80's?) the bent handle was supposed to have something to do with changing the geometry of the pivot point or moment arm and that was supposed to let the batter create more torque or leverage.
For you guys that live in snowy climes, it's the same principle behind those curved handled snow shovels you see today.

I tried to hit with one once...never again
Almost broke my wrist.
I believe it was designed much like axe handles. You are supposed to be able to get more torque.
