Balk

Seems to be a lot of balk questions lately but here is another.

(FED) F1 is straddling the rubber (readying himself for a stretch/set positioning). He engages with his pivot foot and "settles" by bringing his hands together, then apart, and bringing his non-pivot foot forward. {All of this is of course very quickly} He then goes through the motion of receiving his sign...etc...

Is the act of bringing his hands together and then apart while "settling" (no matter how fast and/or non-deceptive) a balk?

Hopefully I've described it well enough for you all to get the idea.
