That describes mine pretty well. I used to just pull a bow, but added the hand straight up to take advantage of my height. (My knees suffer from getting my 6' 4" down into the proper slot height. So I like to take my strike, out, and count signals way up high.)

By the way, my favorite Called Third mechanic is Atlanta's Betsy Kidd's. She's small and athletic and she literally leaves her feet with her punch out.
