How old are you buddy?:) In that particular match, I noticed that your opponent did not much under spin in his serves, so you didn't really have to open your racket flat like that. That was why the ball pops up so many times and difficult for you to control. Just slant it a little with a forward motion. The better solution is to just flick it gently.
As for your topspins, whenever you opened your bat, hitting with an upward motion, 90% of the times, the ball will go long. Hit it with a forward motion. You're not playing against Joo Se Hyuk:) You have to learn to adapt. If the ball keeps going long, then close the bat a bit more and hit it with a forward motion. If it goes into the net, you may need to open up your bat a bit, and hit it with an upward motion. The contact and brushing of the ball plays a major role too.TT needs these little adjustments in every shots. You can't fix a technique or a way of hitting a ball for every shot, it doesn't apply that way. Every shot has a different amount of spins, height and pace or even a combination of all three. You'll get it with experience. If you keep missing the table, make the adjustments :)

Hi TurboS1

I enjoyed watching your video, recognising my own playing style a few years back.
I've noticed the following:
- Your footwork is too slow. I can almost hear you thinking: "I can reach the ball, so why would I move my feet?"
This line of thought is bad. Always go for the OPTIMAL hitting stance.

- As I was (and still am a little), you are afraid to use your backhand to full extent. Whenever you get a ball to your backhand, you either push it back, or you lean backwards (as being afraid of it) and try to somehow keep it on the table.
Don't be afraid to spin or hit with your backhand. Even if you miss it a thousand times, you will immediately rise a few levels the moment you master this stroke.

- As Azlan said, you misread some of your opponent's serves. They were not very spinny, so tending to go upwards. Try to focus on exactly how your opponent brushes the ball and react accordingly.
==> A good practise is to ask a training companion to do the same serve over and over again, allowing you to find the best possible way to return this particular serve and then moving on to another kind of serve...

I hope I've provided you with some good advice...
