Returning short serves to my forehand

Hey,

I have difficulties when receiving short reverse - pendulum serve to forehand from right handed player or short pendulum serve to forehand from left handed player. That left handed player serves side/back or side with little backspin serve when a second bounce drops just after the edge of the table or second bounce is on the table. So the ball is as far as possible from the net maintaining the ball short. It makes it harder to make short push. Good thing is that he makes these two serves 95% of a time so I know that I get it right into my forehand or into the middle I just need to read wheather it is back/side or side with little backspin and if it is long enough to topspin or it is not long enough and I need to push short.

Now, here is the problem. At first I am prepared to return the serve with my forehand so if it's just little high or long so I topspin or if it is not long enough I push short. Most 75% is not long enough. During the game I always get confused because while I am expecting it long it is not long enough and I need to quick chanage and push it so 1) I lose my balance, control, preparation to return the serve while reading the spin at the last moment. 2) ball drops deep in my forehand with sidespin so I need to open my arm when I push with my forehand which makes harder to control. I find it easier to return the serve with my backhand, however if serve is long I dont have time to turn back and loop with forehand(I dont loop with backhand because serve is low and I can not make enough speed as much speed on the ball as with my backhand.

Some tips or thoughs how I can deal with that?
