THE DECISIVE MOVE MAY HAPPEN BEFORE THE BALL MOVE.

Observation

The proposed mechanism begins with changes in cadence, hesitation or body orientation before the decisive attacking action.

Try Looking At

Move your attention one beat earlier than the highlight.

Counterpoint

Earlier movement may simply be part of the technique itself.

Doesn't Fit

If the defender recovers immediately, it may be an isolated deception rather than sustained disruption.

Question

When does a successful feint become a change in the opponent's behavioural condition?
