Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

i know which tut you're talking about, and when i just subdivide/smooth certain faces, it tends to look weird, so i just split polys

Image1 - This might be what your hammer handle looks like now. It has few faces to work with.
Image2 - Selecting these faces...
Image3 - then smoothing them, will give the handle a weird look. Probably not what your looking for.
Image4 - Using the Subdivide Tool or Split Polygonal Tool will give you more faces to work with.
Image5 - Selecting these faces, then smoothing them will give you a better look.
Image6 - If you want the head of the hammer to be smooth, you shouldn't have much trouble when smoothing.
Image7 - Just make sure you select the right faces...
Image8 - and you get this when you smooth.
