Did you clock the times between the different approaches to the ball? I would suggest that the “correct” version isn’t any slower.
Furthermore, I think there is better rage of motion in the “incorrect” approach because your glove is not trapped on the other side of your leg. In the incorrect approach the player is square to the ball and in the “correct” approach the player is leaning.
Something to think about!
