Hi coach;
Your all the videos are very helpful in understanding and improving the game. thanx !. I find it difficult/imposible to reach the ball on my forehand corner near net in case of magical service (service in which ball bounce just near to net and bounce back to other side). I am having average height of 5'7".

Hi Dilip,
Just try moving around the side of the table. When they hit the ball with a lot of backspin to get it to go back again, they have to hit the ball very slowly. This will give you plenty of time to run around the side of the table and reach the ball.
