Hi Andy,

I don't think we have a video on this...

The main thing to consider is to keep the hitting position in relation to your body the same.  That is if you want to contact the ball earlier then move your body closer to the table.

This tutorial may also help. Timing your forehand.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
