Finally got my hammer swing to be consistent after 5 months of messing up

I kept watching videos and my hits would land all over the place. Took a class at the local forge in Dayton and the instructor told me I was choking up on the handle like a baseball bat. Switched to gripping near the end and let the weight do the work. Night and day difference. Now I can hit the same spot 8 out of 10 times. Anyone else struggle with grip for way too long before it clicked?

5 months of choking up sounds brutal, glad the Dayton instructor caught that grip issue for you.
