Just realized after a demo in an old barn that my hammer swing was all wrong
I was working on knocking down an old beam in a barn outside of Lancaster last month. After about 20 minutes, a retired farrier walked past and said I was wasting my energy swinging from the shoulder. He showed me how to let the hammer head do the work using my wrist and elbow. I tried his way and the same strike hit twice as hard without wearing me out. Now I am wondering if I should change my whole technique or stick with what I am used to. It felt awkward at first but the results were undeniable. Has anyone else had someone correct their basic form and stuck with the new way long term?
