The ball has bounced on the table, and the player has finished his follow through.

Points to look for:

  • Note the depth of the bounce of the ball on the table. This is typical of a double bounce serve (where the ball will bounce twice on the opponent's side of the table if left untouched). It is very difficult to do a double bounce serve where the bounce on the server's side is close to the endline.
  • The right foot is continuing to lift, as the player puts more weight on to his left leg.
