Hi Ramiz,

This takes a lot of skill.  You need to watch the ball very carefully and then use your bat as a wall to block the ball back.  You need to keep your hand relaxed to absorb some of the speed.

This is not a shot that you can practice too often.  It is more a matter of luck to guess the direction as well.
