Had a partner tonight who has just transferred in to our area, with several years experience in his former locale. He did a good job, and looked terrific, but had one mechanic which amused me. If he was going to wipe a shot, he put both hands at his chest, elbows out, palms down and then simultaneously "waved" both arms straight out in front of him, as though signalling SAFE in baseball. He repeated this motion two or three times each time he called it (three calls, I think). How do others wipe the shot in areas outside of Portland? Is his style unique, or regional?
