Hi Devesh,

The first thing is technique and the second thing is training.  You need to repeat this often to get the stroke better and more accurate.  You can also introduce some targets on the table to help you to focus your mind on where you want to hit the ball.

How much time we should spend for a stroke. Should we just focus for a stroke till we become an expert on it.

Until you can do it consistently with placement for about 20 in a row without missing

They are both equally as important.  First though get the hand right and then work on the feet.
