Hi Sohan,

Watch where the ball is going after it hits your bat.  Then adjust the angle of your bat the net time to counteract that spin direction.

Watch this tutorial on Understanding Spin.  Then if you need more help sign up to the Premium membership and you will see the rest of the Receiving Secrets tutorials that will help more.
