Hey! I think you are right in that by the looks of it you have some really nice shots, it’s just you need to really focus in on the key basic elements which can improve consistency like being relaxed and keeping balanced and keeping low. I would say your serve and forehand attack look very strong, and probably if you can get a bit more solid and confident on the backhand topspin’s this would help you have to move less and be more balanced in your game.
I think right now you should focus on being stable and consistent, so work on slowing down in practice and not rushing the shots, just going steady and keeping the ball on the table. Of course in time you can increase the speed and power but for your style of play I think consistent backhand and forehand topspin shots is important and also the footwork to get into position and keeping low.
In this video I believe you are a much better player than the guy you played but just made too many unforced mistakes, you had some great shots but just too many mistakes as well. I think with focusing on stopping mistakes and being consistent and with some practice at footwork and staying close to the table this will help you have more chances to attack and play to your strengths. You have a big potential to improve a lot and with 20h per week to practice that gives you time to work on these areas which is great!
Also some focus on keeping your pushes on the table and low will help you, and the serve and return also keeping them short and hard to attack for the opponent. So a few areas there for you to focus on but as you said it’s mostly doing the basics well and cutting out some of the mistakes and you will see big improvements!

Thanks, Tom
