H Muhsin,
Firstly good on you for getting started in Table Tennis. You certainly have ambition which is a big part of getting better.
The main things for you at this stage are to make sure you develop your technique correctly. Then it is a matter of getting as much good quality training as you can. If you haven't already joined a club find your closest club. Then if you can try to work with a coach that can help you with your technique.
Play some competitions as well because actual game play is invaluable for finding out where you can improve.
Good luck and we would like to hear how you progress.

Hey, don't take this the wrong way! but where do you live?. because I know a great place for you to get high level coaching that will improve your game dramatically if you live in the UK (in the East- Anglia region to be exact!).
These guys live in Norwich and they do coaching for £15 an hour (but if you don't live in the uk and you live in sone other country with a different currency, I don't know what the price would be converted into that currency), which is quite a bargin considering your paying for both the lessons and table hire. Their called 'The Twins' and they are both level 3 coaches in table tennis and have been coaching for 20 years. They do their coaching at the Norman Centre on Mile-Cross Centre in the Miller Hall.
If you want to find out more about them or have any enquires about the coaching, then you can call them on this number:-
