I am wondering if I have some odd muscle problem or something. There is no fine motion with the pinky. Are there any exercises that are actually helpful or is it fairly common and I should just soldier on?
The pinky is commonly the weakest & least dexterous. It varies by individual, of course. But no matter how much strength & dexterity you start with the only way to get better at any manual dexterity is repetitious practice until it becomes second nature.
I have a couple of tutorials that can help build finger strength & dexterity, in particular focusing on the pinky, but can apply to all fingers. These are not necessary, but I've used them for years to help students with this exact problem.
