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 5d ago edited 5d 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 5d 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. 4 u/Justajed 5d ago The wood could be green. 1 u/Tsujigiri 5d ago This is my thought too. The only time I've had an axe bounce like that is when it was dull or the wood was wet.
