Hi everyone I am your big fan from Turkey (Englısh isnt my native language I hope you understand me)
My question is, when I hit the ball, inadvertently the angle of the bat becomes like this:
I grip bat like this when I training...But in the match I stressed and when I stroke ball my grip change false (like first picture)
I think this issue is a problem for many people...Thanks a lot for your answers

Hi Nuri,
This is to do with tension in the wrist and forearm.
Focus on keeping these areas relaxed first. In trading feel what your forearm and wrist are like. Then in a match, focus on this area and see if you can get the same feelings as in training.
This will allow you to play your strokes.

just as a tiny update, this really helped me in my last couple of training sessions. relaxing my hand/forearm A LOT made it so much easier to get topspin balls right, i didn't even notice how tense my wrist was
