Hi Francisco,
You can alter the angle of your bat to get the ball down the line. However, the backspin ball may prove difficult to flick. You will also need to tilt the angle back to allow for the backspin. You may be better to push the ball back short.
Take a look at our lesson on the Backhand Flick for more help.
