So I've heard some talk about these supposed hammers you can put onto fusions that are supposed to make them climb ice better. Has anyone used a tool with these hammers? do they make a difference? I really like the fusions for their drytooling performance, but they totally suck on ice. Anyone?

I've heard that you can put the hammers and picks from cobras on the fusions and they will climb ice really well. I haven't done this because I bought the tools for their drytooling performance and don't want to diminish that. Also, Roger Strong said at the PDX ice fest that the new microhammer from the Reactor is interchangeable and will go on the fusions. Its got something like 150g? of weight, so it would be a nice middle ground between nothing and a full blown hammer.

 

One thing that helped me get better sticks with the fusions was to hold the upper handle (above the handle) and swing from there. You lose a lot of reach but it seemed so much easier when I was pumping out. I read on Will Gadd's sight that he recomends putting your thumb on top of the handle to help direct the swing. I've heard this works but haven't personaly tried it.
