Hi Fahad,

My best advice is to go back and do the stroke slower and with more control.  You will need to do this to make sure the technique is correct.  Everyone can do this, no matter their level.  It is a matter of focusing on the start and finish posiitons of your stroke.  Jeff is doing nothing different.  He has just done it more times than you and cna now do it consistently every time and faster, but he too started by doing the stroke slowly until he could do it well.
