The only problem I have ever had with the hammer, it looks like you are calling an out when you just have a strike. And in my opinion that caused a lot of the confusion when the umpire in the ALCS with the White Sox and Angels and the "Did the ball hit the ground...." conversation.

I have only used the "point" and never had a problem missing plays.

Peace
