The answer
Not yet — the skill isn't finished forming, and asking for the result before the practice is done just interrupts the part that's actually working.
What argues for it
You have the skill, built the slow way, and it transfers.
Reversed
You are competent enough for this even if you are not yet expert.
When it moves
A long, steady stretch — months of repetition rather than a single decisive session. Payoff arrives once the practice is finished, well after it started.
What to do about it
Keep your attention on the piece in front of you rather than the whole unfinished row. One more coin, done carefully, is the entire task right now.
Reversed
Slow down and look at your last few pieces honestly. Something in the repetition has started slipping.
