Points to look for:
- The player is continuing to watch the ball right up to the point of contact, in order to make sure he can adjust to any changes in the ball's movement.
- The player has reached down towards the ball, with his elbow a little higher than his hand. This will increase the amount of forearm snap the player can achieve, and will increase the amount of speed and spin the player can put on the ball.
- The free arm has actually moved very little, but because the player's body has moved to his right, it is now extended from his body and acting as a counterweight to his playing arm, improving his balance.
- The players right foot has gone under the table to allow the player to reach the ball comfortably, and still be able to push himself backwards after making the stroke.
