RE: (TFT) How many licks does it take...

Look again, he was actually striking the edge, not the side, on the 
table. The failure probably had more to do with cheap materials than 
bad technique. I think the 'problem' with his technique was that he 
was hitting an unyielding surface rather than a surface that had some 
give to it. Live and hopefully learn two things: Never use cheap 
display only reproductions to do a real job and never strike steel 
against an unyielding surface.
