Absolutely.

And I seldom put one past the outfielders, who knew to play me short anyway :). Not much pop, but I could find the holes.

There's always the little matter of dragging said driver though the woods all day... Besides that, a bigger guy ought to be able to exceed my swing speed, no? It's all a matter of muscle spent on acceleration, isn't it? Either way, I'll always advocate more wedges instead of a bigger driver.

That I know, my friend.

No need, my brother...you'd have broke my arm, without doubt :).

For me, with wedging the magic was head speed over mass of the driver. I can hit a tiny target at extreme speed, just a hand/eye coordination gift that I cannot take any personal credit for beyond acknowleging that practice does help. I don't think I'm unique in this...any really good faller...

Buncha drive tool idjits here in the 'House, by my estimation. Luv y'all any way. :D.

They are considered an expendable item, not expected to last forever :).

:thumbup:

:D

I will reinterate two points...(1) a hammer, BFH or not, is wrong, in fact is "clearly pursuing a deviant perversion of what is right and proper"; (2) if a 5 lb. head single bit axe on a 26 inch symmetrical ash handle doesn't qualify as a BFH, I don't know what the hey does :D. ;)

Not really, Rajan...you could chop for days before you'd free a bound saw, in big timber. The cutting side of the single bit is to take off thick bark to improve the wedge function, mostly. Carrying, and swinging, a full length handled axe in the brushy mountains is a bitchy hassle...that's...

That's why we don't use a curved handle conventional splitting axe, Al :|:. Jack shows the right tool, as I did in my pic posted just before.

Mags stack ok, a bit of gritty dirt or saw chips between helps. The best plastics are without doubt Hardheads. Properly struck, Mags deform very little, less than plastics. Heavier drivers may be less stressful to wrists, but I fully believe are more stressful to shoulders. Elbows, I bet are...

Never wish to be needlessly harsh, ya know :evil: It's great we can have fun like this, ain't it 8). Thanks, Jack!!

Stephen is a tad more generous than I...all choices but a single bit axe of sufficient head weight are simply wrong. Anyone who argues differently is clearly pursuing a deviant perversion of what is right and proper :D. Though I will allow that Stig's prefered tools, both old and new, slip...

:lol: Specialized skill, hmmm?

Here's my two favs. The longer handled one has seen nearly 3 decades of service to me. The shorty I got from Gerry Beranek, and it's something I treasure for that reason alone. It works might fine in brushy and otherwise tight swinging conditions. Both are 5 pound heads.

For hard wedging situations, I like to use some mag wedges instead of plastics or even hardheads, though those are surely much better than plain plastics. Have you tried them, Sean? Mags or hardheads, either one. Al, if you hit 'em square and true, they last longer :P:D.

I prefer the high head speed that I get with a 5 lb. single bit axe to the slower strike that physics dictates from using a heavier driver.
