Points to look for:
- The player has let his right arm drop a little, with a bit of sideways movement, to put his bat back into the ready position. Note that the bat is pointing forward in a neutral position, and is not left in place for another backhand.
- The waist, hips and shoulders have returned to their original position.
- His knees have begun to bend as he returns to his basic crouch position, and he has regained his slight forward lean.
- His bodyweight is again evenly distributed between his left and right legs, and on the balls of his feet.
- His free arm has remained virtually stationary throughout the entire stroke.
