it seems that as i bring my wrist down from classical to a folk position, the joint responsible for doing most of the heavy lifiting shifts from the 3rd joint at the base for classical to the 2nd join in the middle for folk. the first joint also seems to get more active the more i lower my wrist. i can feel the difference in the top of my hand.

you discussed the accuracy differences, but what about speed and endurance? it seems that classical style might edge out folk in both of those categories. thoughts?
