Hi Sanky,

Think about hitting the ball into your side of the table a little closer to you.  Then hit the ball quite firmly to get it onto the other side.  If you hit the ball too close to the net on your side, the ball doesn’t have time to take off.

The next thing to think about is the brushing contact on the ball.  If you can brush the ball you will start to generate spin.
