Hi Jimmy,

The first thing to do is to make sure that you have your technique correct.  Take a look again at the lesson on The Forehand Counterhit.

Next you need to start to see how many forehands you can do in a row during training.  Probably the easiest way is to set up a PingSkills Consistency Wall Chart.  On this you can keep a record of how many hits you can do in a row.

Every time you play, have a try at beating your record.  This will only take a few minutes of your time but the results will be rewarding.
