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.
