Points to look for:
- The shoulders have turned a little to the left, and are now at a slight angle to the endline of the table.
- The bat has continued to move backwards into position. This will allow the player to swing forward and down when striking the ball, causing backspin to be put on the ball.
- The player has continued to focus on the ball.
- The player has a slight forward lean from the waist.
- The free arm has dropped slightly to get out of the way of the forward swing.
