Hi Harikrishnan,
When you are learning a stroke, I would not concentrate at all on my free arm. You are much better off focusing on the start and finish position of your playing arm. You can only think of a few things at once and the start and finish position are key.
Your free arm will naturally find a good place. I think that if you focus on the position of your free arm it will take your mind off the elements you should be concentrating on.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
