Hi Alois. I was wondering what happens if my opponent hits the ball out past the table, and I intentionally return it. Does he get the point or do I get the point.

Hi Brian,

Once the ball goes out pst the table it is out.  Whatever happens after that doesn’t matter.  The player that hit the ball out loses the point.

Hope this clears it up for you.  This is the rule that that gives the most trouble with understanding.
