Hammer Umpires

Doug Eddings uses the hammer and so does Bob Davidson as well Tim Tischida. Tim actually uses the double hammer when calling strikes. I use the hammer for both baseball and softball. I feel as if I may miss something when doing baseball if I look away and plus I am not coordinated to do out to the side either.

Ahhhh yes, how could I forget Eddings?? After the 3 billion replays we saw of him last year.

Why are the strike and out signals identical? I like to use different signals in baseball, but conform to NFHS protocol in softball and use the hammer for both.

Softball umpires use just the hammer for strikes and a high reach then hammer for outs.
