Back in the Saddle Again

After 5 months of rests and the use of a brace, my elbow is nearly completely healed. My game however needs a little healing now. Footwork needs a refresher on the finer points of lunges. The cross court shot needs attention badly. The focus and watching aspects need drilling into my head. The one notable success in the past months is the lob. I'm feeling more comfortable with it and have added it into my game more naturally. The cures for what ails my game will have to come from doing some solo drills and getting my head wrapped around the basic mental preparations again.
