That is very interesting to me...intuitively, I might have thought the opposite.

Care to hazzard a guess as to why the warm-ups vary by genre?

Incidentally, I had an amazing lesson with Laurie Frink yesterday (full report forthcoming, as soon as I can digest it all!), and she said she thought that for me, 2 hours a day was plenty. Can't tell you how happy I was to hear that! ;)

I say whatever works for YOU, go with it. How much Manny or Clarence or Bud or Andre practices has no bearing on my (or your) development as a player.
