What hammy work do you do?

SLDL don't seem to work for me, unless I'm doing it wrong however regular deadlifts I find work them more.

They are a bit tricky to get right. I think where most people stuff them up is by going too heavy, which makes you do a deadlift, and by not sticking your butt back enough. Where a deadlift is about pulling your body/back upright, SLDL are more about sticking your butt and hips back. Also try going down slow, then up fast and see if that makes a difference.
 
Deadlifts from boxes is very good. Bar at mid shin to knee level. Any sort of hip hinge that doesn't have leg extension involved is going to be great.
I really like doing leg curls prior to squatting as well. That's a good one for both the entire thigh
 
SLDL.

start with doing this exercise with a slight bend in the knee.

your goal overtime is to do this exercise with straight, stiff legs.
it can take a while for some.

I'm still not at that stage and it's been a fair while. Admittedly, I don't do it every week consistently..
 
I feel SLDL cannot be beaten. GHR and box squats work ok too, but SLDL nails them the best I reckon.

That's cool if you understand that.

it took some time (slow progression) but I can now do a work set of 12 reps x 115kg with a straight leg and an arched lower back.
thats directly after the leg press.
