Inertia. Don't get me started! I have wrestled with this question (how does interia figure into touchweight?) for years. But even before anyone gives scientificological significance to that aspect of touchweight, does *anyone* (the frustration is peaking again!) know: What amount of force _should be required_ in order to *break* interia? What about the amount of force required sustain enough motion as to thwart interia's intent to slow/stop a hammershank w/hammer? NOTE: inertia: n. 1. The tendency of a physical body to remain at rest or of a body in motion to stay in motion in a straight line unless disturbed by an external force. 2. Resistance to motion, action, or change.
