I'm not sure what exactly you're picturing, but once 190 releases the ball, they just immediately pick it up again without moving anything in a clockwise direction. When "relaxing" their mechanism, they are in their own home stretch and the mechanism is in their own area after the home stretch. Or am I not getting you?
