Is there any technique to improve reaction time when someone smashes?

Can you suggest me any drills to improve returning smash?

Hi Hari,

You could use multi-ball.  Get someone to hit the ball at you at regular intervals.  It doesn't need to be at a full smashing pace but quite fast to test you out all the time.

It is like any other skill, the more times you do it the better you will get.
