Speed is obvious.
Timing is subtle.
Most breakdowns blamed on “not throwing hard enough” are timing errors hiding behind effort. Late acceleration, early pull, rushed transition — all create the illusion that more force is required.
Timing isn’t about moving faster. It’s about moving when it matters.
When timing is clean, the throw feels delayed — then effortless. When it’s off, everything feels urgent.
Urgency is a signal.
So is strain.
If a throw only works when rushed, timing hasn’t settled yet.
