The ball is about to be hit as it bounces up form the half volley.
The weight of the body is swaying back, because the right arm is
extending as the right hand goes past the left to put the power
into the shot. The right side has turned from the hips when the
bat goes past the left foot to meet the ball. The hands speed the
swing of the bat. |

Close-up of the hands and bat position when the ball is being hit.
The right hand firm behind the handle of the bat puts the power
into the shot. The bat is angled back to hit the ball upwards. The
left arm freely swings on with a firm left hand grip. The body
weight goes back on to the right leg. The trunk leans backwards as
the right hand goes out with an extended right arm to hit the
ball. |
