Hi Maurice, it does depend totally on what spin is coming at you and how much on the angle of the blade, having the blade more close certainly won’t hurt in terms of brushing the ball and getting more spin. Having a good whip in the shot is definitely good, as for the bat handle I think it would almost be facing the opponent if your using a.lot of wrist which is good in longer topspin strokes. Hope that’s helpful!
