Points to look for:
- The player has watched the bat contact the ball.
- The hips, waist and shoulders have not turned appreciably from their position at the end of the backswing.
- The forearm and bat are moving mainly forward and a little upwards, as shown by the slight blurring in the photograph.
- If the ball was compared to a clockface, the bat has made contact at a point roughly between the numbers 1 and 2, while the bat was moving mainly forwards and slightly up. Note that the angle of the bat remains at around 70-80 degrees. This movement makes the ball go mainly forwards and a little upwards, with a light amount of topspin generated by the small brush of the ball.
- Contact has been made between the left hand side of the torso and the middle of the body.
