Hi Yasmi,

The basics is what we show you in our tutorial on the Forehand Counterhit.

We often find that players who aren't playing many forehands also have a stance slightly turned towards their backhand side.  

To help to play more forehands, firstly practice the stroke and develop confidence in it.  Then when you are setting up at the table makes sure you are in a position that allows you to play forehands.
