It is my belief that if the beginning of the sequence is correct, timing issues will be solved. When a hitter gathers in balance, timing is really not thrown off unless a pitcher does their job and throws off timing. Learning how to load is not overrated and is crucial to the rest of the swing imo. Learn everything about the ‘gather’ or ‘load’ of the swing.
I have found that once the ‘load’ of the swing is mastered a hitter can change their loading ‘style’( no stride, toe tap, high leg kick etc.) and within a few pitches can find their timing quickly once again. Solidifying that, the load in itself is huge. This fundamentally is not an option but a necessity.
When learning the feel of a good gather I key in on: the back knee should never get over the back foot. The COM should not get back until the forward move. Leverage the ground, not a body part. The stride should be a result of the gather.
What is being loaded and when in the swing does this loading occur?
