Hi Vineeth,
You need to find for yourself what feels best because both are legitimate styles that you can reach a high level with. Play a few games with different players and see which works best for you.
Once you make your decision though, stay with it and don't keep changing because you will lose time in your progress.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
