Hi Jozef,

If you push it back you need to adjust the angle of your bat to counteract the spin.

If the ball is spinning off to the left, then adjust the angle of your bat to face the right.  Don't try to do too much with it, just use the angle of your bat.

You can also try to play a topspin.  If you brush the ball fast it will get rid of the spin already on the ball and put your own spin and direction on it.
