Hi Long,
Make sure when the ball is in the air that you move back away from the table and get into a good side on position. This will allow you to adjust your position and also move into the ball when you smash. Take a look at the lesson on the Forehand Smash for more tips on this.

Forehand Topspin Variations
A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.

Thanks for the tip Alois! I have some trouble with high lobs with a lot of spin on it myself so this could come in handy
