No jig. You can just hand press it onto the hammer. Trouble is, I don't 
think it'll tell you much of anything useful. At least I haven't find a 
workable methodology. I about decided a bounce test would be a better 
indicator, but that has problems too. Sheet felt goods are pretty simple 
to grade, but hammers are a different and much more complicated animal.
