Warning: My hammer grip was ruining my control

Honestly, I was getting a lot of shaky hits and my arm would ache after just an hour. A guy at the Seattle guild meetup pointed out I was holding the handle way too close to the head. Has anyone else had to totally relearn their swing?

But what if you need that extra power up top?

Way too close to the head" is such a common mistake. I had the same problem and it makes your whole arm work overtime. Moving my grip down a few inches was a total game changer for control.

My first season playing rec league, I choked up so high my thumb was practically on the strings. Felt like I was trying to steer a shopping cart with a broken wheel. Took me three games of wild throws to finally listen and slide down.
