Hi Jorsel,
This is a common occurrence. You need to persevere with your strokes. Keep practicing them and in some matches you need to not worry about the result and make sure you focus on using your new technique.
As you become more comfortable with the strokes you will start to trust them more in a match. It will take time and effort but you will be able to do it.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
