Deliberate net shot from the opponent's side

Rules

Say my opponent hits a high backspin ball which bounces on my side of the table and then drifts back over to his side because of the spin.

Is it my point if I hit the ball into his side of the net from there, such that it then runs down the net onto his side of the table?

Hi Aaron,

Yes that would be your point as long as it hits his side of the table.  I assure you this won’t happen too often though.
