Points to look for:
- The right foot is stepping forward, to allow the player to reach the ball while maintaining good balance.
- The player is focusing closely on the ball, so that he can adjust to any last second deviations in the flight or bounce.
- The bat is open, with its tip pointing towards the ball. This gives a little more reach, and allows the player to play the stroke from behind the ball, instead of to the side of the ball, which would be a little more difficult to judge.
