[QUOTE="howellhandmade, post: 2653923, member: 34928"] You can take a roundhouse swing with the Fiskars, but it's not the same sort of timing as with a long, heavy maul. With the latter, you can't keep as much lag in your wrists and the mass of the tool inhibits the flail action that is quite pronounced with the Fiskars. Adding wrist lag and snap to a roundhouse swing can be effective with the Fiskars, it just requires care to release the lag low in the swing so that if you miss you don't hit yourself. The Fiskars responds best to more of a "sports" swing, like a golf club, where a short, compact, snappy swing can produce better results overall than a long, loopy one. [/QUOTE]
