I played in a Black Metal band once (hehe yes I did believe it or not :o), but we have 5 minutes songs that were fast as heck (<~ :D). Had no trouble whatsoever playing with my wrist. Although you may have alittle more endurance by strumming from the elbow. The way your most comfortable with will provide more endurance then something that you are less comfortable with. Plus I get mentality drained before I get physically drained. :)

Oh yeah does Yngwie play like that too cause almost all his solos are 5 minutes and really fast??? No sarcasm just wondering, Ive only seen him play once or twice and it was awhile back.
