I think it sounds OK. As you said, with m down rather than am down, you have less resistance and thus more speed but less volume. Think of the motion as turning a screwdriver or opening a door with a key. It should involve minimal lateral movement from the elbow, and mostly pronation/supination of the forearm. I don't think the wrist has much movement that it needs to do with this technique. You can also think of the p finger and m/am fingers as moving on their own, to provide more force. Think of it as a combination: the fingers completely stationary and all the movement comes from pronation/supination, versus, the forearm being completely without supination/pronation, and the entire movement coming from just extending/flexing the fingers. Once you understand both these movements, you have to find the right balance of both to blend them in, resulting in maximal volume and speed to suit your needs. If you don't understand what I'm saying via text, I can make you a quick video. Cheers!
