Ring hammer or spur hammer? Ring hammer, the fix is easy, cut off the back half of the loop, leaving a short spur.

You could do the same with the spur hammer and shorten the spur by 1/8".

If the bite is only with the spur hammer and not with a ring hammer, you can replace the hammer.

I think the BHP looks best with the ring hammer and I have never suffered HB with my ring hammer HP.
