Hi Ivandri,

To get more backspin and get the ball to come back to you, you need to get straight under the ball.  If you brush the ball on the side it will curve with the sidespin.

Look at the angle of your bat on contact with the ball.  You will probably find that you are dropping the end of the bat on contact.  Using a video will help you to see this properly.
