Absolutely! I also have the same thing happen when I play golf. Every once in a while, it all "clicks" Then on other days, not.

Back when I was competing Masters class, and practicing 3 afternoons a week and one w/e day, I could really feel whether the practice was going to be good or not. Much of the reaction is muscle memory, like the rudder/elev feed in a slow roll. You don't really think of the flying, you feel it. Some days it's on, some not.
