Unless you are swinging picks in a comp, you don't need this. Buy the standard hammer, it provides better balance and will help you more. This is only a part that should be used by people who only climb mixed routes and never swing the pick into ice.

That's silly. Balance in a tool is all a matter of taste - personally I prefer two head blanks for ice/mixed cragging: it puts the weight into the front of the tool. This hammer is a full 2oz. lighter than the big one. If you aren't going to be banging in a lot of stuff, go with this one and you'll be carrying (and swinging) a quarter pound less.
