Hi Frendy,
I think it is more important to watch the ball. Anticipation comes from learning cues from other players and patterns.

in tennis table the ball comes very quickly and I think ( am I wrong ) it's important to react fast, I readed the article to hitt before the top of the ball, no more time to réact, a young player réact quickly than an old player no?
Hi Martinand,
A young player may be able to react faster but if the older player is watching the ball better and has better emotional control, they can be faster.
