To elaborate more on slowing down your timing, don't just delay your verbal announcement of your decision. In getting proper timing you want to be sure you are tracking the ball with your eyes to F2's glove. Then you are making your decision, not before. Take your time, then make your announcement. There is no hurry. Doing so will also aid you in staying relaxed. You will likely get more pitches right and build greater confidence in your platework.

Remember though, slowing your timing down is slowing down where you make the decision of whether the pitch is a ball or a strike, not merely waiting longer to announce a decision that you made too quickly. It may take longer than you think to perfect your timing, but when you get it, you will know. You will be far more relaxed. Quick timing is one the most common problems among newer officials.

Just my opinion,
