Bat Angle

Strokes

Johnny Long Asked 10 years ago

Hey,

I've recently started to play some players who can generate a lot of topspin, and I'm having problems countering the topspin.

I try to turn my bat angle over to counter the topspin, but I often hit the ball with the edge of my bat because it's turned too over.

Some players also tell me not to turn the bat angle over.

So how should I counter heavy topspin?

Thanks.
