Timing is equal to it's twin brother mechanics. you can have the best timing in the world and miss the ball because your bathead isn't on plane.

Timing isn't diacussed because there are no cues for timing. timing is done in the zone when you've ceased all thinking and you are allowing all your senses to bring the bathead into contact with the ball.

If you're thinking of a cue as to when to pull the trigger the ball is already past you. you have to be agressive and you have to have faith in the program. regards, Rich
