Step 1: On Approach

As you prepare to slide be looking at the position of the defensive player. If they are only covering one side of the bag then you must go for the other side. Start your slide from about 8 feet away and if you are sliding to your left push off your right foot and drop down to the left side of your body.

Step 2: Get Hooked

You should land on your thigh and calf as your leg is straight out onto the ground while your other leg is flexed back.

Step 3: Slap That Bag

With your arm reach out with your fingers to get a piece of that base.

    this in not a hook slide; never go into second base with your exposed hand to touch the base ..the correct method is to slide with your right leg facing the outfield, with your left leg bent so that your left foot grabs the base and you body is leaning to the right ..followinging your right foot/leg.
