Hi David, It's so dry here that I have to repin EVERYTHING as standard procedure. I don't think any manufacturer could pin it for our (Utah's) sometimes 10% or less RH. I certainly subscribe to everything you've posted about friction.

Do/can manufacturers actually know/publish the hammer weight limits associated with their spring size/design...!?? I ran into this problem early in the game while going down the super light hammer road... didn't figure out the reason until years later.... like last year... when I tried regulating a rep with a very heavy spring material made in a rather large country to the west of Japan. Adding two grams to the medium hammer weight solved the problem... also replacing with a much lighter spring wire worked. regards, David S
