    Between let-off and impact, the jack, rep lever, and string are not =
in contact with the knuckle.  The list of forces acting on the =
hammer/shank assembly consists of gravity and center pin.  period.  Both =
are acting to decelerate the hammer.

  What about the flex of the hammer shank?  When the jack releases, it =
is no longer forcing the shank to flex, thus allowing it to spring back =
into its original form a nano-second before striking the string.  =
Couldn't that cause acceleration of the hammer head?  =20
