Hi Haseeb,

The main thing is to work on the start and finish positions of the stroke to begin with.

Take a look at the tutorial on the Backhand Counterhit which is the same thing as a Drive.  Then do a lot of practice of the stroke in a controlled situation where you know where the ball is coming.  As you progress you can start to randomise the practice so that you are able to hit a backhand in a series of hits.  The progress to being able to hit it when you don't know where the ball is coming.
