It’s a dance and the melody might change with every shot but you should try to keep the rhythm the same. Count through your preparation and stroke. It will put your footwork and everything else together.
Brilliant! If I had a nickel for every time I heard a coach during drills say “follow through” I could pay for my club membership! 😊 funny how they never took the time to help me with the reasons you explained as the “why” I couldn’t follow through. Thank you!
Well observed. Incidentally, the way kids rip flat groundstrokes nowadays presents an extra problem in tracking: on the ball that clears the tape by an inch or two, my eye lingers a few milliseconds on the net, as if to check whether it was clipped, and it's just enough distraction to cause a misread & mistiming. Seems to warrant a conscious override of instinct.

It's good that you enjoy dancing so much. Sadly a lot of players have two left feet.

Yeah, it's always about addressing the underlying cause of the problem, not focusing on the symptom.
Hear hear!
not only timing. distance is another factor
Definitely. Spacing is always the first thing to be addressed. Once spacing has been addressed, then to focus moves to timming.
