There is a link on Larry's page to one of the best vids to see bounce timing in action.
Notice that on his third shot the ball bounces before he does, he late on ball timing. He leans too far backward and is off balance as a result. He still makes the shot but you can see the result of not timing the ball well. |

I had the same issue. I think mainly mental, which causes physical lock up on FH side. Although I think the lock up is mainly on lower body, so try immediately to be in good form on FH, bend your knees, active feet, do the rotation from bottom to up, and just think you can drive back the ball.
BH seems to be 'easier' as in warm up it involve less the body, and possibly just the forearm. So I had to start with BH to 'loosen' up, then start looping on FH side which causes the 'feel' of the ball to come back and the stroke movement on FH side to come back, then I can start FH drive. I suggest to just start as if you can already do the stroke, and you know you can do it, focusing on the good form of the stroke, upper and lower body. Warm up properly to help loosen up.

I have seen this many times over the years. It is scary.
Almost always caused by wrist flipping or moving too much. Do not use your wrist. Dan

I've experienced this exact problem myself. I started playing when I was 9 years old and then I quit at 13. When I started playing again at 18, I have this problem of forehand warming up taking too long. It was so embarrassing. My motion is really bad, I either drove it into the net or drove it off the table, it looked like I never played table tennis before. After at least 10 mins or 15 mins, it came back to normal and I could drive the ball consistently with good technique. The problem lasted for almost 2 years before I got over it. I'm pretty sure it's a mental problem because I knew how I should do it, but somehow my brain and muscle chose to do it incorrectly.
From my experience, it's due to the rotation of the forearm and wrist, if you have this problem, try keeping your arm and wrist stable, not too relaxed, not too firm, and use mainly the lower body and shoulder rotation to drive, when you get the feel, you can start using your arm more. Don't forget to breath out when you contact the ball, it will help you relax. |

I think the compact backhand stroke leaves less room for error. My forehand stroke starts off wandering all over the place. It always takes me longer to bring my forehand under control. |
