Shifting slightly to the concept of scruffing... The hammer contact will always "scruff" towards the hammer pivot axis (unless the pivot axis could somehow lie in the plane of the string). The closer the pivot axis is to the string, the less "scruffing" will occur.

Upon reading the follow-ups of Jons query, I'd like to wonder which is<br>which. I've always considered "Over-Strike" as the Downward angle of the<br>hammer, which would put the hammer Beyond Perpendicular. ??? Am I correct
<br>on that? If so, then, "Under-Strike" would be, where the hammer does not<br>achieve Perpendicular, on contact?? The "Over-Strike" hammer, (on an<br>Upright), would "scruff", (for lack of a better word), downward, at impact.
<br>The "Under-Stike" hammer would therefore "scruff" upwards.<br>Do I have all of this backwards? Confused minds need to know what the<br>consensus is.<G><br><br><br>Joseph Garrett, R.P.T.<br>Captain, Tool Police
