Points to look for:
- The bodyweight has moved a little onto the left leg, but is still fairly even.
- The left arm has not moved, and the right arm has bent at the elbow to the left, so that the forearm is parallel to the endline of the table.
- Notice that the shoulders have turned a little more than the hips and waist.
- Both shoulders have lowered a little, as the player continues to get into position. The right hand is below table height. Note that the right hand is not directly underneath the left hand, but is around six inches or so to the right of it horizontally.
- The head has lowered to allow the player to keep watching the ball comfortably and closely.
- The player is directly behind the ball, with the ball between the player's navel and left hip.
- The angle of the bat is about 45 degrees, with the top edge of the bat pointing halfway between the floor and the camera, with the wrist cocked.
