Ideal leading pattern:

[David Stanwood]

Dear Roger,

Sorry to jump in late, I've just gotten back from PA State conference.

Heavy hammers require full leverage, that means strike weight ratios in the 
low to mid 5.0's.  If your action has higher ratios then the solution is to 
move the capstan line..

Helper springs don't fix a mismatched leverage but they do "help".
