Orin's defection: the best natural coffin-corner man

The craft-detail that completes the body's arc from raw force to touch: once the distance was there, the control followed — "coffin-corner kicks" dropped inside the twenty, and Orin "the best natural coffin-corner man" the S.T. Assistant had seen. The developmental order is the same the sport's own lore recognizes ("your raw force tends to precede your control"): the body first learns to hit it out of sight, then learns to place it. It is, precisely, the second-order refinement — the "weaker areas" of accuracy — that Orin was, in tennis, never willing to slog toward; here, on the one shot he'll risk, he finally does.
