Hi Younes,

Thanks for your kind words about the site.

To help with this issue, try to turn your feet slightly to face more towards your forehand.  In practice, set yourself a task of only playing forehands if the ball is anywhere in your forehand half of the table.

It is more a mindset than a real technical issue so try to practice it as much in training to get your habits to change.
