Hi Julia

Ed more or less spelled it out for you.  One way of thinking about the 
Strike Weight concept is as a <<radius weight>>.  How much does that 
hammer actually weigh hanging out there on the end of that shank 
swinging away on a center pin ?  

Check out the following for some easy explanations to Stanwoods basic 
touchweight concepts.
