At what hammer weight (given action parts materials) will compliance become such an issue that it defeats any increase in action ratio ? And doesnt the stored energy in compliance flex have to be released some how regardless... doesnt some of this end up coming out on the hammer / string impact end of the <<equation>> ? Then... action saturation.... when is too early ?? or is there such a thing as too early or too late saturation ?... RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
