In the initial position, the 3 fingers i,m,a are hooked side by side, inside the thumb. So the position of the "a" finger should be somewhere at the (inside) tip of the thumb. There should be no "knotted" kind of position but as if you build a small ball shape with thumb,i,m,a. Also your thumb should have kind of bend position when hooked in to the bass string. When you talk about "hooking in to quickly", i guess you are talking about continous rasgueados. it takes time to have a good continous rasgueados. Important thing is too train each finger seperately and slowly until you have same sound and power in each finger. And when doing the cont. rasgueados, you have to move back "a" and "m" before the cycle is over, so at the same time when you do the "i" downstroke, you should already prepare the next cycle. However, not sure if the a.m. mentioned points are the problem or not. just some ideas. Here are also some pictures and some info in one of my post about the differences between 3 finger rasgueados and 4 finger and of course some people mix them etc......(scroll down a bit) http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=102828&appid=&p=&mpage=1&key=&tmode=&smode=&s=#102872 hope that helps a bit.
