hard to tell without seeing a video.do your shot end up in the net ? off the table ?
the general advices are:
- keep the lowest possible posture given your abilities. eye line nearest to the net you see better the spin and trajectory the head should be close to the ball. watch the pros !
- watch carefully the ball when its on your half table
- don't rush to play the ball ! get quickly in position, but ONCE you're in position wait for the ball to nearly be almost in your racket to play it. Make then a short stroke
- the easiest timing is to take the ball just after the top of the bounce with a flick. you may not realize it but most of mistakes at our level is by trying to hit the ball too early while moving ! we have time to play. You don't need at all to play a fast shot with the flick. focus more on the timing and placement (usually middle or down the line, cross court is dangerous unless you really surprise the opponent)
- never play a short ball by extending the arm ! you have no control there
