End of Backswing

The ball is approaching the player, and the player has finished his backswing.

Points to look for:

  • The player's head and body are now relatively still, with much of his bodyweight on his right leg.
  • The player is continuing to watch the ball approach.
  • The use of the free arm out in front of the body in order to balance the player is clear from this perspective.
