Table Tennis/ Ping-Pong - Forehand Pendulum Backspin/ Sidespin Serve

The ball has now bounced on the table, and the player is continuing his recovery.

Points to look for:

• The player is continuing to move his bat forward and to the right, to bring it into its ready position.
• The hips, waist and shoulders have turned further to the player's left.
• The right leg has continued to move to the player's right.
• By comparing the previous two photographs with this one, the ball can be seen to have turned to the left of the camera upon bouncing, due to the spin on the ball.
• The player is continuing to watch the ball closely, in order to gauge the success of the serve.
