Mechanics At First Base

Ground ball to third. Batter is speedy. He stretches hard on his last step and his foot hits a split second before the ball arrives. The problem is, it hits the ground a couple of inches in front of the bag, or a couple of inches past the bag. He does not touch the bag.

What are the proper mechanics for these situations? Are they different if he misses the bag short or long?
