Hi Aankith,
The stroke is more vertical but you need to generate a lot of spin to get the ball down onto the table.
If the ball is going too high then you need to turn your bat more forward and brush the ball faster to give the ball enough lift. This is a more difficult stroke but is possible if you train it. The key is speed of your arm.
Also take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin which will help.
