1. Stance is 6-12" too wide.
2. You are swinging the hammer head too far back around you so the handle is perpendicular to target at the top of your backswing. The handle should stay close to pointed away from target at top of backswing, so the hammer's head/weight is pulling straight back away from target.
3. Your arm remains mostly straight during forward swing. Bend your elbow on forward swing, lag the hammer behind the elbow like a normal hammer action but sideways.
