Points to look for:
- The player is beginning to push off both legs to get out of his crouch. Note that he is pushing a little backwards as well, since he wants to be a little further back from the table when he finishes his recovery.
- The shoulders, hips and waist are beginning to turn back to the left.
- The playing arm is swinging towards the left. This is partially the final part of the forward swing, and also part of the recovery action.
- The player is now watching the flight of the ball, as well as his opponent.
