He used Hamon but to no effect against Empress in part 3, since Empress or its user are vampires. However, he defeated the user using his own Stand Hermit Purple. I'd hardly call a man swinging through a city out of practice let alone a Joestar. Another example is when Dio Retired Joseph by using knives because Joseph was channeling Hamon with Hermit Purple. Joseph definitely isn't out of practice.
