I would definitely not wedge 1/2 lb balls individually, my hands aren't
small enough! The reason I prefer 1/2 lb. is that I like to throw as thin as
possible and 2-3 lbs. is rather large when I get finished. This is not to
say I am good by any means! I am actually still an undergrad (apparently for
life).
I am attending Southern Illinois University @ Carbondale under the
instruction of Harris Deller. I hope to have the web site up in November and
will announce it on Clayart when I do.
Thanks for the replies!
Randall
