Hi Lance,
The finish position and the plane of the swing depends on the spin on the ball coming in to you. If there is a a lot of backspin on the ball then your stroke needs to be ore vertical and if there is topspin then you can have your bat move more horizontally.
Take a look at our tutorials on the Strokes & Techniques page on Backhand Topspin Against Block and Backhand Topspin Off Backspin and also the one on Backhand Topspin to Topspin.
