Not exactly. The grip is held in the Heel of the left hand, not the Cup. This gives you #3 accumulator angle at address. This is the angle between your left forearm and clubshaft. If the grip was held (incorrectly) in the Cup of your left hand, everything would be in a straight line and there would be no Wedge to speak of yet.

The requirements for the Left Arm Flying Wedge are satisfied as long as the Left Arm, the back of the Left Hand and the Clubshaft all lie in the same plane (the plane of the Left Wrist Cock Motion). This is true even when the #3 Accumulator is zeroed-out, i.e., when the Club is Gripped in the Cup of the Left Hand or, assuming the Grip is taken with Club under the heel of the Left Hand, when the Left Wrist is Fully Uncocked and the Primary Lever Assembly (the Left Arm and Club) is in Full Extension.

In other words, there doesn't have to be a 'wedge' shape (of the Left Arm and Club) in order to have a Left Arm Flying Wedge.
