I don't feel the timing has changed much but I have experienced similar "lock up" issues. Whether the patch has anything to do with it I don't know, but I haven't seen it happening again since I started making sure that I just move the stick up and not "push" it inadvertently. When I saw a meatball I sometimes pushed the stick a bit (because I got too anxious haha) rather than smoothly moving it up, and I think that was one problem for me.
The transition from the take-back (pull down the stick) to swing (move up the stick) probably needs to be very smooth in order for the analog interface to think our intention is to swing. With a slight hesitation, I think the interface thinks we want to check swing.
