Warren et. al.: Thank you for your responses. I can't see how dented wippin cushions can cause anything but lost motion. However, your suggestion got me to thinking. Obviously the hammer butt leather wears at the same rate as the rest of the action. Could this be the cause of the problem? An indented hammer butt would effectively make the butt smaller, and therefore not go as far toward the string with the same amount of letoff as a larger or unworn butt. Am I on the right track? Pat
