Alan,

According to Richard Davenport the backcheck does slightly involve the
tail if you look at those high speed tapes of it. I'd like to see it,
but he says that higher checking does result in less power as Richard
said, and Ric. clarified for me.  As Ric said, more drop =3D slower rep,
and higher checking =3D (slightly) less power. I agree.=20
=20
I misunderstood Richard and thought he meant higher checking would give
slower rep speed but after Ric. pointed out my misreading I re-read it
and Richard was actually very clear. My "Oh" meant "oh, do I feel dumb
that I didn't read it right the first time."  Sorry if anyone read more
than that into it. I'm not mean spirited at all and would never
intentionally offend anyone.

Thanks,
Jim Busby

Its Richard Wests point, but I believe he refers to less power on
repeated blows. Not sure tho. Richard ??=20

	 Hi,Pardon my density, but why does higher checking reduce
power? If the hammer tail doesn't drag on the way up (and it shouldn't),
I can't see how higher checking reduces power. Checking, after all,
occurs after the hammer has hit the string.I must be missing something
here.Alan McCoy=20

	Jim, I dont think Richard mentioned that higher checking was a
detriment to repetion speed. It was lower drop =3D slower rep speed, and
higher check =3D less power.=20
