Points to look for:
- The hips, waist and shoulders have turned to the player's right, winding up his muscle power, which will be unleashed when he hits the ball.
- The right foot has moved backwards, and has turned slightly, so that it is now parallel to the endline of the table.
- The knees are bending, and will be straightened when the players swings forward at the ball, adding to the power of the stroke.
- The player is watching the oncoming ball closely.
