Hi Hardik,

Perhaps you are not getting the speed coming towards you with the weaker players and you are tightening your arm and lifting the ball over the table.  It is difficult to tell exactly without seeing what is happening.  Try to relax the arm and swing more forward against the slower or weaker balls and see if that helps you to get the ball on the table.
