Hi Joren,

A Forehand cross refers to the direction the ball travels. It means the ball is going across the diagonal of the table.

The Forehand Counterhit is a controlled Forehand shot. You can have a look at it in this tutorial on the Forehand Counterhit.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
