Starter solenoid maybe. Are you getting power to the starter? That would be my first check. Did you have any issues prior to this or did you go out one day and it didn't work so you bought a new battery and replaced it?

Why are you hitting your starter with a hammer?
I'm assuming you have power to the starter and it is not engaging the flywheel when you say it won't "engage all the way," correct?
Since you replaced the starter, does it work now? If not, think you need to go through some troubleshooting processes and not just replace parts. Could get very expensive.
