Hi Rahul,
Always go back to basics. So think about just placing the ball on the table consistently. If you need to, slow the shots down even more. Once you have built up consistency, perhaps 30 shots in a row, you can speed up a little bit.

Mainly use the speed already on the ball and play the stroke we show you in the lesson on the Forehand Counterhit.

hello sir,
i am a table tennis player in my school i say your video in youtube but then also i am not getting spins so can you please help me sir
To get spin you need to brush the ball. Work from the basics and slowly add a little spin to the ball by altering the contact slightly. It may take some time to get it but keep working on the stroke.
