Actually, the throw must beat the runner for there to be an out... but that's neither here nor there.
I'm having trouble seeing why you have more trouble with the short hop catch by F3 than with any other play. The timing is the same (for the umpire), the sounds involved are the same, what you're looking for is the same. I don't see this as any more difficult than a normal banger at first.
