[Paddlewise] Sculling with a Greenland paddle

Ok, after numerous attempts I'm having a little difficulty sculling &
bracing with a Greenland style paddle. The reason is it is difficult to
change the blade orientation so that it is near horizontal to the water.
Should I rotate the paddle in my hand or rotate my wrists? My wrists don't
want to bend that much and the paddle feels unnatural when I rotate the
paddle with my hand on the root of the blade.

Any words of wisdom?!

Thanks in advance,

Woody
