Hi Anirudh,
Keep working on the technique. Make sure your contact is correct so that you are getting enough topspin on the ball so that it has a good dipping flight path. This will help you to get the ball on the table more.
If you are improving, then keep working hard and it wil get even better.

In this video we show you a simple trick to improve your strokes by making them more economical. You'll notice increased power for less effort. When you tense your muscles too much you actually get less power and become more tired. However when you relax the opposite happens. It's why all the best players look like they are hitting the ball so hard without much effort.

Yah, I also have this problem. I think it is very hard for me to look at the ball and loop it. I also tend to be in the "attack position" when I want to loop a loose ball, which kills because I tend to be nervous, therefore, I missed. I wanted to ask, whether does a player need to contact the ball FLATT first then brush the ball? Or else the ball will end up in the net. May I know does this principle applies in topspining the ball?

If I flatten the paddle, does it change the amount of Topspin on the ball? May I know does the amount of spin decrease?
