dropping your hand lazily, but fast, downwards

We do it fast because it's a short vowel and we level our hands with our mouth to better connect lips and hands movements.

Place your hand so that your wrist is levelled with your mouth, put your fingers up and then drop your palm without changing the position of your wrist. The floppy lazy movement is designed to match the relaxed, almost neutral quality of this vowel.
