In a situation where I'm in the left corner my opponent hit a smash on to the right of the table .

Where I clearly cannot reach it, So I tossed the Racket on to right of the table so that it hit the ball and 

Ball returned to the opponents table and he left it !!! 

So finally is it my point or my opponent's point???

Hi Yuva,

Nice skills... but unfortunately it is your opponent’s point.  The racket must be in your hand to be a legal hit.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
