Reconnecting after a release

In a move such as the Manspin (turn) the follower's hand trailing down the back (which can be quite delicious), and as usually stressed by the teacher, is an obvious physical cue.

But why does it 'usually' work so well where there is no such physical cue as to precisely where those hands should be. Take the Catapult where the follower is brought alongside from behind and sweepingly led to round the front and into a (let's get it right) CW spin. I am not aware of actually looking for that other hand at the end of the spin and yet, 'almost always', we do reconnect and smoothly go into the return. Is this down to the skill of the follower or am I, somehow, unconsciously, contributing to this happy state of affairs ??
