We had a good discussion about this at least once before, you might search
the archives.
One thing that surprised me about it was that most people use their whole
arm (and wrist), whereas I was just using my wrist. I now find that if I am
going to have any endurance at all I need to use my arm, at least a little
bit, in conjunction with my wrist.
