Middle of Follow Through

The player is in the middle of his follow through, and the ball is on the way to the opponent.

Points to look for:

  • The racket is continuing in its swing around the elbow joint, and is now moving towards the player's left, having reached the limit of its forward movement.
  • The dipping of the right shoulder to allow the player to swing comfortably from the elbow is clear in the side view photos, as shown by the difference in heights between the free arm and the playing arm.
