Why is it so much easier to tap/drum your fingers on a table from your pinky to your index finger compared to index finger to pinky?

You may have done this as a kid:
Put your hand down flat.
Bend in your middle finger until it touches your palm.
now tap each remain finger one at a time.
You CAN do all of them with some effort but the pinky unless you have practiced and or trained will barely move.
Now if you do ring and pinky at the same time it’s fine-ish.
That’s because the tendons in the back of your hand that pull them up so very rarely work independently they barely can.
When you are doing the tapping index to pinky ring goes first and pulls pinky up.
The other way and it’s working against those tendons.
