The player is in the middle of his follow through.

Points to look for:

  • The racket elbow has started to move downwards, as the player follows through.
  • The ball is not moving all that fast, since more spin than speed was put on the ball.
  • The player is beginning to lift his right foot in preparation to swinging his leg to the right, in order to recover squarer to the table.
