Some say it looks like a "Hitler" salute...just make your count look natural and comfortable...IMO.

I hate the Hitler Salute mechanic and there are a few old timers working the courts whom have this technique down.

For me, a simple lateral arm movement on the bench side is more than adequate.

Let's make this really interesting; 2 finger count or do you use the entire flat hand style.

It all depends, usually I use 2 fingers, but sometimes I get the whole hand in there.

I'm a two finger guy myself, what about you?

I use the whole flat hand.

I didn't see the count in question, but as far as bringing attention to yourself with a counting mechanic, nothing beats the Hitler salute. When you've got a routine play with somebody bringing the ball up the floor uncontested and you've got the full arm swing going, that's hardly subtle.

I keep trying to break the two-finger habit, but it just feels better to do it that way.
