I'm 6' 4 1/2" and have always had a lot of trouble with fast feet. I personally use a 6 step approach to get my timing down. I take two short slow steps before starting my push away. It helps me lock in my timing. Also, I find it helpful to put a piece of tape with a reminder to slow down on the shoe that i line up with. Mine says, "stay slow stupid" a little funny but it really does work.
