Points to look for:
- The bodyweight has moved a little more onto the right leg.
- The left arm has continued to move in tandem with the right arm.
- Notice that the shoulders have turned more than the hips and waist.
- Both shoulders have lowered a little, as the player continues to get into position. The right hand is at a height that is a little above the expected maximum height of the bounce of the ball.
- The head has lowered to allow the player to keep watching the ball comfortably and closely.
- The player is not behind the ball, but is on the left side instead, to allow a comfortable swing from the forehand side.
- The angle of the bat is a little open, with the top edge of the bat pointing slightly upwards due to the slight cocking of the wrist.
