I beleive they don't even make contact with the check, but I've had notes that even on a medium hard blow, much less a hard blow, where the hammer doesn't check. It acts like it is not even touching the check, but it goes down far enough where the it should be hitting the check. But if I move the check forward, the tail hits it on the way up.
