Points to look for:
- The player is still moving towards his left, but he will be in position before the stroke is played.
- The hips, waist and shoulders have turned further to the right, although the head is still facing forward watching the ball.
- The bat has moved backwards and downwards at this point. The amount that the bat moves backwards will vary from player to player, and will also be affected by the amount of power the stroke is hit with.
- Note how the free arm has turned in synch with the playing arm, which helps maintain balance.
