I use both, pretty much based on the mood of the moment, generally with smaller poundage of clay. Anything hefty and I use "cut and slam", which I really like and it seems to save some wear & tear on my wrists. Hulk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyewackette Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 @LeeU We called it Wire Wedging in my day, and it was the only way I knew how to wedge until I was met with a blank look by an instructor circa 2010 and told to rams head it or else LOL! It seemed to be a forgotten art until that Michael Wendt video seemed to remind people it had ever existed. Only now it was called Stack 'n Slam.

Pres Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 I mostly use the S&S, but finish clay off with the spiral, I have my wedging table built to the height that I get the most traction with 15-25# of clay. I have found over the years that it helps my back, shoulders and arms when done properly. I have no problems with my wrists, what with the wedging, throwing and bowling. best, Pres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
