Interestingly, although the WNG shanks are stiffer than your average
wooden shank, they seem to be noticeably <i>more </i>prone to
twisting.<br>

<pre wrap="">Since the shank not only
flexes downward but also twists some then the stiffer shank would also have
the benefit of keeping the hammer more consistently square to the strings
through impact. That would produce greater consistency at higher dynamic
levels and overall more power.
