My old hammer handle finally gave out after two years, so I made a new one from hickory and the swing feels totally different

That "swing feels totally different" thing is real. My buddy swapped his old fiberglass axe handle for a custom hickory one. First time he split wood with it, he overswung and nearly threw his back out. Took him a whole weekend to get used to the new balance, said it was like learning to throw a baseball again.

I get the "learning to throw a baseball" part, but a whole weekend? That seems like a lot for just an axe handle.
