I've been drilling "open the door" footwork in my living room (my ceiling fan blades have been cleaned so they're no longer distracting me) for only a little while now. But it's clearly made a difference in my ability to react to a lob. In open play on Friday, I actually not only reacted and got to the lob, but I returned it! OMG! When the point was over, I did a happy dance! I don't even remember whether we won or lost the point. All I remember is that I got to and returned a lob!!! I was on top of the world!
