‎”It is both tiresome and injurious to perform the raising operation with a clenched fist. The raising hammer should be ‘thrown’ at the target and picked up for a new blow only on its upward bounce. In this way, the hand is in least contact with the hammer at the time of impact.” Oh, Heiki, you do go on! ;)
