Functionally, slicing the hammer felt so that it does not extend so far down the distal side of the hammer molding is a real fix of a real problem and takes only minutes. (Relative to the amounts of time that many of our procedures take, like installing new backchecks in this instance, the slicing of felt takes almost no time.) If you depress the hammer from its rest position, you want the shank to contact its rebound cushion before the back of the hammer felt can contact the back check. If there is some advantage to lowering the backcheck rather than removing hammer felt, it escapes me. ? But installing lower backchecks sure could take more time, to fix a problem we didn't cause.
