Mine is long, but not that long. It's built like this Greatneck. https://mobiledistributorsupply.com/70001-greatneck-16-oz-speed-strike-hammer-great-neck.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw75HWBRAwEiwAdzefxDW7EmN_Ni vIT4Tk3wGVdTFDgLKRjierX4NqF-5Xu1ihjC-5iPyUHBoC044QAvD_BwE# It's the nub at the end that makes all the difference. You don't have to put much effort into keeping it in your hand, centripetal force just tightens it in. It's a very comfortable hammer to use and it's great for driving spikes home, three whacks and a 16 penny is flat out.
