Welcome to the forum, dguig.

I look for the hand solidly under the ball (palm up)and the ball moving horizontally.

I look at the rhythm of the ball to see if it comes to a noticeable and total stop. (Not the law of gravity physics stop at the top of the bounce)

I look at an aggressive horizontal change of direction, to the side or backward, with a noticeable stop at mid bounce.
