Almost like a hollowed bell shape on the handle to the head, the bell being the struts?
If so I'd think it would certainly help absorb shock to the user and handle, but the force of the strike likely wouldn't be enough without that pure transfer of force, a mini piston in the head of the hammer could potentially work with that design in mind, it would keep the power of it high and still keep the shock to the user in check.
Something akin to WH40K's ridiculous Thunder Hammer would likely be the best bet, on contact have it release a burst of heat and energy with a head built to handle the heat, but that would be extremely hazardous to the user without proper protection.
Something like a pilebunker hammer would work, you'd just need a very strong arm to eat up the shock of the shell firing, dent/weaken with the hammer blow then pierce with the shell.
I'd take it in in a lance before a hammer though, already barrel shaped and double the piercing power at the cost of impact.
