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.
