These trees are pretty common in the Catskills and make great walking sticks. I also have fond memories of using them as catapaults in my childhood. When young, they are very flexible and springy. Bent back, one a couple inches in diameter and can propel a small child or large ball a considerable distance. I taught this skill to my nephew, much to my sister's annoyance, and at eight or nine he once launched himself so far away that he got lost for a couple of hours. : )
