@TSJMajesty I dunno if this is helpful at all but I don't think we've discussed this aspect of pick technique; you'll notice in the first clip that there's practically no excess movement with the pick aside from how far it needs to travel to hit the string on each side and make it to the next one. What you can't see from this angle is what my forefinger and thumb are doing with the pick-
You can see in this vid below, the faster I get going the more the knuckles are retracting the pick. It's nearly impossible to see when my wrist starts moving, but I know I wouldn't get into the speeds I get into without that little bit of movement happening.
