Thanks my friends and appreciate this.
Clive: You described it very well. Manual focus and sport action are not a friendly combination and though I must admit that by no means I am faster than AF or possibly as accurate, I am surely more comfortable to go manual due to the fact that I know my own limitations but hard to deal with logic of camera and lens even in servo AI. In doing so, the only trick is to have a zone of focus set first (Utilizing the Live View and 10x magnification for precise focusing- My Sony camera has let me to custom design one bottom, near shutter release, for this exact purpose) and then wait for the action to get there. I add a tiny move of lens toward infinity, if subject going away or vice versa, also as the movement is happening. That is all to it, as far as my secret goes.
Thanks again.
