Not precise in gesture

Would this ever be said and is it correct to say "in his gesture" after "precise"?

Thanks

If a person uses a gesture, it is often with the hand (although a nod of the head is also a gesture). In a restaurant, after assigning you a table, the waiter may indicate the table at which you are to sit by leading you to the table and sometimes pulling out a chair. That would be ‘precise in his gesture’.

  • If instead in a ‘not-so-busy restaurant’ there is no assignment of table, the manager or doorman might just wave generally in the direction of the tables and say ‘take a seat anywhere’.
  • That would constitute ‘not precise in his gesture’.
