you use your wrists to angle the bat as the ball makes contact, using the pace of the ball (and hopefully some good timing) to place it squarer, it allows you to meet the ball with a pretty much straight bat, so the danger isn't really there, although it should only be attempted to a half volley, a length ball might do a bit off the deck and compromise the shot, I did it quite successfully during my innings yesterday actually, on turf too.
Not that it was advice either ****, just something batsman can do as opposed to thinking playing straight is the only option early on
