Great post Hot Rod!

I started developing the dreaded baseball bat shape early into my PE career. I usually jelq around 70%. One thing I noticed was
part way into my session my penis would start getting red from jelqing. It would start about 1.5" inches from the base. Overtime
I notice that the red area was wider. I use an underhanded grip so I'm able to start very close to the base and the wide area was
exactly where the redness started, so I think you are correct thinking that the pressure doesn't start building until part way up.

I have the exact same shape as you described. But like you, I think the tissue volume is roughly the same. I plan on using some
of the techniques you are describing to even things out after I reach my goal. I have heard pumping is effective in helping. I pump
quite a bit but haven't notice a huge change in shape.

All in all, I think the gains were well worth the change in shape, even if I have to live with it this way indefinitely.
