Hi Praseed,

Thank you for being a fan of our videos! That's great to hear. Reflexes are a very important part of a successful table tennis game, and it sounds like your son may benefit from some focusing exercises to help him build up his reflexes. There are several drills that can be done to help improve reflexes, such as focusing on the ball more thoroughly and reacting quickly to unexpected balls. Practicing the footwork drills mentioned on our site may also help, as they require quick movements.

Best of luck and I hope this information helps you and your son out! Keep working hard and soon you'll see the results.
