Drills to improve reaction times
Training
chris Lee Asked 10 years ago
From your video anticipation, it seems that the only way to improve ones reaction times is experience. I was thinking: are there simply drills that improve reaction times?

Hi Chris,
Yes I think that if you are doing drills that cut down your time then you will push yourself to react faster and watch the ball more carefully.
Getting your training partner to increase the speed of their blocking for drills or making the placement more random will help.
Things like faster multi ball can be good purely for cutting down the time you have. However, be careful because you are not getting the same feedback from the player playing a full stroke that is important to develop as well.

Lobbing Tactics
If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
