Hey Coach, 

I've been playing for awhile now, and i got down my forehand loop and also my forehand drive already, but i cant seem to transition from looping the ball to driving it.

Hi Angelo,

We do have a lesson on this for the Premium members. Forehand Followup.

This is a difficult ball for many players.  You need to really get over the follow up ball.  Most players hit that next ball off the end of the table.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
