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, but is held with the top edge of the bat slightly forward of the bottom edge.
- The bat is moved upwards and forwards just before contact with the ball, to impart topspin on the ball.
- 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 comfortable contact.
- The free arm has been stationary throughout the service.
