The reverse swing happens not from a worn ball, but from one polished smooth on one side while the other remains rough, creating a pressure differential that pulls it late. My life says the obvious answer of moisture is overrated—here, the *sngi* (sun) bakes the pitch hard and dry. I learned this watching a taped-over tennis ball dart wildly in our courtyard, its tape acting like that polished side, while my father’s hummed *ka jingrwai* held a steadier rhythm against the wind.
