You turn your left hand to the plane and SLING SLING SLING IT DOWNPLANE DOWNPLAN DOWNPLANE.

The coolest thing that I got after a few years was that even though the left wrist is uncocking on plane, the right wrist doesn't uncock. It stays in it's bent/level condition as the right forearm
rolls with the uncocking left wrist. In swinging, the right forearm rolls under on the downswing (with the uncocking left wrist), and over through release (with the left wrist hinge action) with the right wrist in a frozen condition throughout. The bones in the forearm allow this motion without moving the right elbow or frozen wrist condition.
The flying wedges are amazing.
I had to buy a Gary Wiren right wrist brace to figure that one out.
