There is bounce. That's my point. The "bouncing" is occurring on the inside of the cavity. A ball dropped from one end of a cavity to the other is going to bounce.


The mallet head striking an object bounces. The shot hitting the
opposite end of the mallet when the mallet bounces back "helps" to
cancel out the head bounce back.
