How is the collé bow stroke executed?

Collé is executed by moving the bow with only the fingers of the right hand. Before initiating the down stroke, the fingers must be bent. The bow moves ‘down’ as the fingers are extended, at which point the hand is ready to initiate the up stroke. Now, the bow moves ‘up’ as the fingers are curled back to the position where the down stroke was initiated.
