How to improve my body reaction faster to hit the ball and make my eye catch up to the ball ?

Hi Sutthikan,

The key is tracking the ball all the way from the start of the serve.  If you do this you will find it easier to react.

The next thing is to make sure you are always facing the ball and not try to predict where the ball is coming.  Rely and trust in your tracking.

a low stance to see the ball, I think is better too.

Good point Martinand.  That certainly does help you to be able to react and move to position.

but how low is the most correct?
I often try to get low and I end up with my bat in front of my eyes thus obscuring my sight or hitting the table with my elbow while looping

Hi sir,

Is there a way to improve the muscle reflexes and the reaction time? Do you recommend any specific excercises to improve the reflexes? 

 

I'm very lean and underweight, though, my reaction time is not really quick. I'm a bit slow.
