Hi Yuriy,

You are talking about a very difficult technique here.  The main thing is to allow for the sidespin with the angle of your bat. If the ball wants to spin to the left then you need to angle the bat away from there.  You also need to keep your hand relaxed to absorb some of the spin.

The best suggestion is to try to stop them from making that stroke easily.
