The follow-through has come to an end, and the ball is on its way.

Points to look for:

  • The player is now beginning to watch his opponent at the other end of the court, rather than the flight of the ball.
  • The follow-through has finished with the straightening of the playing arm. Notice how the player has maintained the slight open tilt of the racket throughout the stroke.
