Hi Sandeep,

Make sure you are getting as close to the table as possible by reaching under with your right leg as far as you can.  Then wait for the ball to come to you.  There are very few balls that will not bounce long enough to be touched.  If the ball is too low when it gets to you, then use the push option.  I was very short as a junior and know this feeling well.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
