When I keep my finger pad on the same spot as the pencil when depressing the key, (without slipping the pad along the key during descent) my knuckles rise in a foreward direction and the arm is pulled foreward. If I understand you correctly, the latter effect is the follow-through. Feels good, as if you have a stable but elastic grip on the key, no more jamming and feeling locked up against the keybed.
