Elbow pain
Check the anvil rebound, it might not be giving the hammer back like a good anvil will. I used a russian pattern anvil and it almost wrecked my elbow! I now have a Haybudden & it's sooo much better. Oh! relax your grip. Ihope this helps p.s Don't put your thumb on top of the handle while striking.
