Hi Aatif,

Take a look at our lesson on the Backhand Counterhit.  Work hard on this stroke and try to get the feel for it.

Then in training make sure that whenever the  ball is on the backhand half of your table, you should play a backhand. This will start to change your position at the table and also your confidence in making the backhand stroke.
