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.
