Have you tried the ones in Netherlands?  They are not the hokey ones at US
carnivals.

Jeez! Get over it and stop saying women can't do it. The "Ring the Bell" game
has been around for years and it is almost all technique.

Ihave personally seen skinny little ladies do it at the same time some men
couldn't. It's all in technique and letting the weight of the hammer work for
you. I once saw a lady had to be in her fifties or sixties do it, she took about
three long strides and brought the hammer over the top, took her three tries but
she did it.

My wife and her sister have both done it before, ones in great shape the other
is in cocktail shape.

And yes growing up I worked a couple of summers at a carnival in town.
