Hi Cristh,

You will need to get more under the ball to get it over the net. The face of the bat that is hitting the ball should face more to the roof.

The angle for this is a little more natural than with the shakehand grip. In fact it was the penholders that started doing this return first. Keep experimenting with the angles till you get it right.
