Thanks Dave,
I suppose that I would consider my self a =93puller=94 on the way up and
occasionally =93tap=94 on the way down, but most of the time I =
=93rock=94 down.
Does that make sense?

I will look into the semi-ball type.

Thanks again.

I tune with my right hand in the lever and recently have developed a
pain in the middle joint of my middle finger on that hand.  Has anyone
else had a similar situation and can share what they did to correct the
situation?
Brian,

You might want to try a different type of handle on your lever.  Do you
use a straight lever or a ball type?  Are you a tapper or a puller? =20

I got occasional pain at the base of my middle finger with my old,
traditional style hammer.  After it broke, I switched to a semi-ball
type, and I've had no problem since. =20
