Hi Rakesh,

The short balls can be attacked by using the Forehand Flick or Flip stroke.

The medium balls can be the most difficult.  It is a matter of judging whether the ball is going to only bounce once on the table.  If it is wait for it to come long and then utilise the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin stroke.

This judgement can take a lot of practice but it is worth practicing this as it is a big part of improving your game.
