Hi Daryl,
Think about hitting the ball flat behind the ball. Get the first bounce close to you on your side of the table and as low as possible over the net. When you are practicing it don't be worried about the ball going too long. You need to hit a few longer than the table to get the feel for the range of the table.
Playing it cross court will give you a bit more table to play with as well.
