I am by no means an expert, but I think I've heard some of the pros describing that last bit before the release as a push rather than a pull. And if you look at their videos, they change their position just before the release. Almost like they are moving their upper body out of the way of the hammer and leaning back. I would imagine that this technique can only be done with spikes. Something to think about. Best of luck!
