Chops cooking, do you use hammer?

Hello friends, tonight I am baking pork chops. I plan to serve them with tomatoes salad, but I would like to ask you a question about preparing chops for cooking. Do you use hammer to make the meat softer before cooking and if you do what kind of hammer you use - made of wood or made of metal. We bough a metal hammer few months ago, before that I had no experience in banging chops, I was putting them just like that, so we had to think a lot before we decide what kind of hammer will be better for chops - wooden one or metal one. Mom is using one, made of wood, she never complained of it at all. This metal one is great for me, but I wonder if there would be any difference if we had a hammer made of wood. Now the one we have has two sides. One of the sides is flat, the other side jagged. I also used the jagged side, because it makes me believe that when I put spices on the chops the meat is taking all tastes having this very small holes on both sides.
