Hi Matias,

Yes when you are learning anything, the ability of the strokes changes a lot during that time.  As you become more confident with it your consistency also improves.  It is a matter of time on the table and hitting the ball more to make sure your body really remembers what it has to do.  The top players still practice their basic shots to make sure they are still feeling right.
