Terrible pitch, so late that game did not register your 2nd button press Bad pitch, way too early So so, too early
pitch_timing5 pitch_timing6 Note the blue text in the first image is telling you the pitch was released late (or you never even pressed the button a second time at all). The blue text in the second image means the pitch was too early. In the 3rd image the green text is telling you the pitch was better, but still a bit early. The 4th pic is very good since the circle is orange (but still a fraction early). The 5th pic is a perfect pitch.
Nice pitch, just a bit early Perfect Timing / Best Pitch
