Hi Ryan,
Try this simple idea. Just turn your stance a little to face more to the right. YOu only need to change this by a few degrees so that your right foot is slightly further from the table than your left. Then move a little to your left so that your bat is on the middle line of the table. In this position you will be more likely to be in a position to hit your forehand.
Also during training, set yourself a task of on;y playing forehands when the ball is in the forehand side of the middle line.
It is just about doing it more often and getting used to playing the strokes.

Gerada v Lu
Once again Alois and Jeff discuss a great match from the PingSkills Classic. This is the first quarter final between the number 1 seed Simon Gerada and Percy Lu. Without giving too much away, just make sure you watch the incredible backhand that Percy Lu hits in the 4th set. It really is the shot of the tournament.
