Picado posture

Is this right hand and wrist position ok?

It looks funny to me, slightly bent.. and that pinky hanging there twitching once in a while doesn't look very "pro" either.

Position is fine, but the player needs to slow down a bit and get a clean staccato attack.

Yeah, that's what I've started to practice, the staccato thing.

I just played fast to exaggerate the tension in the right hand to make those two things more visible (lower part of the wrist and the pinky).

Thanks
