Table tennis is more than just technique. It's a game of chess, and there are many ways to beating your opponent.

Just because you're "dinking" the ball over the table for a win doesn't mean you're a beginner.

Just because you can loop and drive well doesn't make you a better player either...

You need to know how to put away your opponent; so get those preconceived judgement thoughts out of your head. Thoughts like that will indeed ruin your mental game in a heart beat..

Some advice I can shed on your serving; practice getting yourself into the ready position after you serve the ball; get to the point that it's muscle memory and you don't even think about it.

You seem like you have quite a few serves, so with each serve you have, you must know every possible return that could happen on each of your serves and how to capitalize on the return ball. So think about every possible return and find a training partner and just practice service with them. Do it over and over until it's second nature.

Also for now; limit yourself to 2-4 serves max. Learn them inside and out, learn how to change the amount of spin you put on the ball. Learn to disguise the serve to look like the same serve but produces a different spin/amount of spin. Then branch off from there.

I advise you to check out this book ,"Table Tennis Tactics for Thinkers" by Larry Hodges it helped me out a great deal!

Best of luck.

We can discuss it here, but you really need to get this book if you want to think more deeply about serves, return of serve, and everything else table tennis. The book is dense and no frills, but jam packed with solid information.
