I have been trying to think about these two accumulators in relation to the left arm flying wedge. MikeO mentioned that these two angles can be confused, and that did happen to me for a while.

Here are some things that I am currently trying to work out, so it might be incorrect. Accumulator #2 is velocity power. The left wrist cocks up, on the plane of the left arm flying wedge. This shortens the length of the primary lever assembly. During release, the left wrist uncocks on the same plane of left arm flying wedge. I think Bucket said that full lever extension happens after impact.

Accumulator #3 is transfer power. I have been thinking about this one as torque. I wonder if this is correct. The left wrist turning and rolling produces a twisting force on the grip (without allowing the grip to actually change at all). If you visualize the left arm flying wedge as a sail from a sail boat....does the turn and roll cause the sail to 'catch wind' on both the backswing and downswing ?
