Points to look for:
- The player is continuing to watch the ball.
- As can be seen from the slight blurring of the bat, the bat is moving forwards and downwards to hit the ball, which will put backspin on the ball. Also notice that the bat is at approximately 45 degrees angle to the vertical, which will help to increase the amount of backspin.
- The shoulders have begun to turn back towards the table, while the playing forearm is also moving towards the table.
- The player has leant a little further forward to allow the bat to slide under the ball more easily.
