Thanks for the advice. Here is a not-very-good image. It is just positioned this way, not a matter of flex n stretch. That said, I have managed to find a way that works at least for what I’ve tried so far. Basically, it won’t go straight but it is possible to push the tip up against my ring finger tip such that it has a smaller contact area.
Other tha that, it has been fun to see that feeling of not keeping up slowly start to dimiish.
