Create ‘Lag’
One of the hallmarks of great players in any game is that they hit the ball ‘late’. Top class cricketers , tennis players and golfers are considered to be ‘in form’ when they have the right timing. In most of these games the hands are always leading the bat/racket/club at impact which is what is considered hitting the ball ‘late’.
