I believe that Homer Kelley selected the term 'Flying Wedges' very carefully. Check the video in the gallery under Lynn Blake called Dowels and Wedges. I think that is one where Lynn explains the shape, a TWO sided wege shape (Left arm and acc#2- it is NOT a TRIangle)that flys as accum#3 is released. Yes- the right FW remains bent. Its wedge is the bend of the wrist and hand. check the video. 6bmike View Public Profile Send a private message to 6bmike Find all posts by 6bmike
