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.
