Andrew, you might consider the SuperTube
(www.fujanproducts.com<http://www.fujanproducts.com/>)
if you have noticed the need for a stiffer hammer. My theory is that most=

Nancy, the tubular shaft allows you many different gripping techniques.=20
Seems to me if you find a technique that works for you, that is the right=
=20
one.
I hope this helps -- Steve Fujan
