its less about even taper and more about moving weight/center of mass around. Youth bats have been doing that for quite a while. Camwood bats is a great example of moving weight around. In their case, its a training bat.

Can you take it a step further with uneven wood density?

Like growing the tree with part of the branch under compression.

Oh, I like this. Feels like something you'd see in NPB with teams recruiting Bonsai masters to grow bats.
