Hi Hassan,

The main thing is to go back to the basics and learn the stroke correctly. Take a look through our tutorials in the Strokes and Techniques section of the site.

Practice these strokes and then slowly start to incorporate them together.

Also take a look at our series on the Building Blocks of Table Tennis which will help you to put things together.
