Query: Strange and Awkward Design. Other designs are a lot better.

This design is so strange and awkward. It's like something between the "hammer" design and the straight pounder design. I think it's very ineffective. Yes, because it has a flat "pounder", it will pound to an extent...but no where near the other two designs. Read my reviews on the other designs to formulate your own opinion, but I don't think this meat pounder was designed well at all. It would be more difficult to clean and store. It does not work well for the "down and out" motion necessary for proper meat pounding.
