With the shorter handle and gripping close to the head you get better
accuracy with each hammer blow.
Yes, with a longer handle you can achieve greater hammer head velocity and
thereby greater force, but you loose some of your hammer contol. At least I
do. Perhpas, if I was hammering everyday, I would be able to develope
superb hammer control with a long handle. Unfortunately, as a hobbist, I do
not get anywhere as much forge time as I would like. The short handle fits
better into my intermittent forging schedule.
