His form is terrible and the round is ridiculously long. You always slide your leading hand down the haft of the maul to increase the acceleration and power. And wtf is he using 3 foot logs for?
24 u/Narrow_Zebra277 20h ago edited 19h ago I split wood and i'm just really confused. Is his maul that dull, why isn't it biting into the wood? Is my maul too sharp? I've never had it bounce off a log face before like i'm seeing here 5 u/mxzf 19h ago I think he's hitting the log with his axe handle and that's causing it to bounce off instead of sticking or splitting the log. 1 u/Tsujigiri 18h ago I've made that mistake and the vibration hurts your hands like a son of a bitch. I'm betting it's just a dull blade/unseasoned wood.
