Michael,

Are you talking about "let-off"? If so, that's too much and would really 
decrease the
power with which the hammers hit the string! If you're talking about hammer 
blow, that's not enough!

Isn't the English language a wondrous thing?! :-)

The broken springs shouldn't really affect the power. Just maybe the 
repetition.
