Newton Great-last-name Hunt,
Quite the contrary, Jack's procedure is designed to increase repetition
of a verticle action. The starting point, if memory serves me correctly,
is tiling the action towards the keys. There are other steps involved,
but one of the results is to increase down weight. To overcome this (if
desired) Jack uses a tool like the one that Lance mentioned to bend the
action post.
