I got the hang of those wedges and boy do they work well on a big piece.
Is there strain on the elbows with this follow through technique?
I have to try it.  I have sensitive elbows.
I’ve been trying to keep a loose grip at the end to lessen shock, but tight enough to keep control.

The times I have split with the follow through way I have not found any issues with pain anywhere. If anything I would think not following through would hurt more as one would be stopping short and pulling back. Following through lets the maul do what it is supposed to do which iis go through the wood. Try it and let us know what happens. Bring the elbows down at the end of the swing.

Did I switch on the golf channel?

Did I switch on the golf channel?

I finally found my excuse to buy a splitter..."honey, I need a splitter because swinging this maul is messing up my golf swing.”

Of course her answer will be..."Oh is that why your clubs have been in the shed for 5 years”?

Same technique, different wedge......I hope

I tried it with my wife,It didn’t work
