Some people, actually quite a few, feel very comfortable with very dense hammers and the needling process that accompanies them... some like these squishy muff ball things laquered up with enough dope to drop a horse.... In between there are all sorts of variants.... and you are next to guaranteed to find both the kind of hammer that fits your style best... and at least a few techs who will insist in seeing things in terms of right and wrongs... usually in the sense that there is a wrong way and there is their way. You ask WHY....?? Because We LIKE You !! :) Cheers RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
