Hi Gogo,
Step close to the ball by putting your right leg under the table. Then use the Backhand Push or the Forehand Flick stroke to handle that type of ball.
If his shot has backspin then the Push is the easier option. If the short ball has no spin or topspin, then use the Flick.

Forehand Block
The forehand block is one way to counter a topspin stroke hit to your forehand side. Learn this stroke and you will be able to keep yourself in the rally even when your opponent get the first attack in.
