    1. How to pick up fast smashes?
    2. Is my drive serve legal?
    3. Anyone else notice how much easier footwork gets once you stop trying to chase every shot at full speed? I used to think I just needed to be faster, but better positioning made a way bigger difference. What was the biggest improvement in your game?
