Evidence of overlacquered hammers

[David Love]

It doesn't.  The issue here is not maintaining the strike point.  When
the hammer flattens out it strikes the strings on each side of the
flattened surface.  Since lacquer is usually applied from the shoulders,
the outer edges of the shoulder can be a bit crusty and you can end up
with two rather pingy strike points.

Getting back to the original subject, why would over lacquering cause
the
hammer to strike the string at 2 different points? Did I misinterpret
something?

Thanks.
