What is timing? I timed that one, why can’t I do this all the time? You can when you realize that timing a ball means that the left hand and the right hand harmonize perfectly. That is, the left hand does not stop the right applying its maximum power forwards while it does its maximum backhanded; only pushing when the right hand intends to push and only whipping when the right hand whips; you can’t mix a push with a whip and get anywhere.
