I work on the inboard areas first.I don't try to smash them out with one blow I try to work them toward the tuck.

I went to a class and Jim showed me how to do it but he made it look easy.His hammer control was really good.He nibbles at the tuck until he works out the tuck.You can actually feel heat in the tuck when he is done.He was able to get a lot of shrink with each tuck,Way more then I ever got.

His method was the same as Kirks same hammer and all.
