Steve, this play takes 323/1000ths of a second.

Making the decision to delay taking the mask off is not within human possibility. 250/1000ths of a second is about the fastest brain-to-muscle response capable. The 70/1000ths of a second of additional time is not a hell of a lot to work with.

We can set this up in a clinical environment with a pitching machine shooting a ball at a target that either just tips or misses it.

I would be glad to buy a steak dinner to any PU who is able to make this call 5 out of 10 times, even in the clinical environment where there is no element of surprise.
