Hi Stephin,
That would be your opponent's point. You have to have a bat in your hand when you hit the ball. If the ball hits your hand with the bat in it and goes on then it is a good stroke.

Hitting the Ceiling
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
