How much you get for your time and money depends on how fast you learn. 
Students learning something new tend to feel tense. Without knowing it, your hand 
begins to tighten on the stinger. In a few months you will have a grip that 
would put a football player to shame, but your progress will be average. If you 
use an elastic band or tape your glove closed around the stinger, you will 
quickly train yourself to hold--not grip -- the stinger, using your wrist to 
control the rod. Your hand strength will remain ordinary, but you will progress at 
double the learning rate. Two hours is the maximum that even a good student is 
actually gaining skill in any given position. Set up your plates and change 
positions several times each session; while others spend half their session 
unlearning technique and doubting their abilities, you will zip forward. I 
learned these tricks when I was in school and became the top student in the 
program...until an Indian high steel worker blew through the course in two weeks flat 
(what a deflating experience:-)
