tape yourself playing, see if you can see anything your doing wrong, and if your brave, post them on here for others opinions. even better, find a good coach to help you find weaknesses in your game and improve them. play with as many diff people as you can, as this will help. If there is a club in your area, try joining leagues, doing drills. if a coach is not an option, check out youtube and other such sites, as they are a great resource for tips on proper technique. The main thing is, its time for you to swith it up a little bit, youve hit a plateu and you need to try new ways to improve your game.

You've been playing for 5 months. You are a beginner around the 3.0 level at best.
He's been playing the same amount as you for the last 5 months, but he has over 4 years at that pace behind him.
You will lose.
It's called "experience".
