Hi Nirakar,

You may just need to allow yourself to adjust to the new racket.  It may be a bit faster so you will need to adjust the angle of your racket slightly.  If the ball keep going long, face the racket a little lower and if it is going into the net open the face up a little.

You may also need to think about making sure you are getting good spin on the ball so that the topspin will allow the ball to dip onto the table.
