Dear Roger, Sorry to jump in late, I've just gotten back from PA State conference. Heavy hammers require full leverage, that means strike weight ratios in the low to mid 5.0's. If your action has higher ratios then the solution is to move the capstan line.. Helper springs don't fix a mismatched leverage but they do "help".

But this is where helper springs can be wisely used. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
