I use the first technique if I'm sponging when stopped...I use more wrist action than whole arm action, though, and have a thick string rather than biothane (I find the biothane leashes too stiff and unwieldy).  I manage the sponging on the fly when walking or trotting...but I am under no illusion that my technique comes close to the skill of the Master's (yours).

Some people are successful with other techniques. They use the biothane
leashes and may yank straight upwards with their whole arm and catch it
as it flies up, but I don't think that works as smoothly on the fly. My
method is throw slightly forward and down, trot past and swing the sponge
out behind you in an arc, then swing it back forward till it's about
level with your hand then pop the wrist so it flies right back into your
hand.
