TIL a half inch off my hammer handle changed everything

Honestly I been shoeing for like 15 years and always used the same 14 inch hammer handle. Last month I snapped one and grabbed a 13.5 from a buddy's shop out of desperation. Ngl I figured it'd feel weird for a day or two but the difference in my swing accuracy was night and day. Anybody else mess around with handle length and find a sweet spot that just clicked?

Man that's wild how such a small change can mess with your whole rhythm. It's like when I swapped my hockey stick for one that was just a quarter inch shorter and suddenly my wrist shots were hitting corners I couldn't reach before. Kinda makes you wonder how many little things we just accept as normal without ever trying the alternative, ya know? Sometimes the smallest tweak unlocks something your body was already trying to tell you.

Oh man, @dakota_king80, you nailed it... I had the same thing with my golf grip, just a tiny shift and suddenly everything clicked.
