HI Cristh,
Technique is important. With poor technique there is a limit to the level you can achieve.
Keep working on your game and gain more and more experiences.

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.

then you are saying that the most important thing in table tennis is the time??
The amount of time you train is a big factor.
Having the correct technique allows you to progress to your potential. Players with incorrect technique may be able to beat other players, but perhaps they could have been even better if their technique was better.
If you're not convinced try hitting a few balls yourself with really bad technique and see what happens :)
