hello, 

should my thumb be in the same direction of the other finger on the bat or i should make my thumb make 90 degree angle with the other finger?

And if it was 90 degree angle with the other finger, will it affect the the strokes either the counter hit or the top spin or the push? will it help?

thanks i'm looking forward to a perfect answer

Hi Abdelrahman,

I am not sure if I will be able to provide a perfect answer but here goes...

It si best to keep your thumb in the same direction as your pointer finger.  If you keep your thumb up higher you will restrict the movement of your wrist.
