Dale,

I've always felt (no pun intended) that tension in a cold pressed 
hammer develops resiliency and density at the same time and that this 
tension is always diminished by hot pressing.  Imaging bouncing 
something off a stretched nylon rope... (nylon being very stretchy). 
If the rope isn't stretched tightly you can't bounce off it very 
well...
