Hi Uzair,
For the flick one of the key things I find helps is to get the wrist back at the start of the stroke. Then look at using a little topspin to help to get the ball on the table.
We have a tutorial on the Forehand Flick that will help you further.
As a guide to upgrade your racket I would go for an all-round type blade with a slower rubber such as Mark V. We have the PingSkills Touch with Mark V as an option.
