What is timing?Show answer
Sequence alone is not enough; the timing of each segment must be right. Each part should add its force as the previous part reaches its greatest speed. Move a segment too early and the previous one has not built its velocity yet; move it too late and the built velocity has already begun to fade. Well timed summation means the contributions overlap smoothly so the end point velocity is maximised.
