Hi Aejandro,
This is not a common technique. There was a very good player, Zhang Xielin in the early 1970s. He had his fingers flat on the backside of the bat and mainly used the one side to hit.
I also know a current player in Fiji who uses this technique. It is certainly possible so give it a go.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
