Hi Kerem,

If the ball is short you can use the Forehand Flick.  If the ball is long you can topspin.  Because the ball doesn't have any pace on it you need to generate the pace yourself. Come more forward since there is no backspin to deal with.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
