Its not.I'd say it's pretty damn impressive considering 1. Sidious was holding back 2. Windu was amping his blade with Vaapad and 3. it's never been replicated. Going with 7 (8).
He goes back with the initial shot, but then starts moving his Saber more and more towards Palpatine. That's not what happens in the novel.
Also I don't think it's stated Palpatine was holding back right from the start. He first tries to kill Windu and then later feigns weakness going by the commentary IIRC.
