Hi Amith,
The key is to get the technique correct. Start with the forehand and backhand strokes and make sure you are doing them correctly. The things that we focus on are the start and finish positions of the stroke.
Look through all the lessons we have on our Free Video Lessons page. This will help you to learn the strokes correctly. Then you need to do this as often as possible concentrating on technique. do the strokes slowly until you feel really confident with them. Then you can start to speed them up. This may take a few weeks of regular training.

Crossover Footwork
When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
