Contact with the net or posts

It is a fault for a player or a players clothing to touch any part of the net. Exceptions are: Incidental contact of the net by a players hair If a players hat, visor or glasses fall off during play and then contacts the net When a ball is driven into the net or the wind blows the net and causes the net to touch a player, no fault is committed. Once a player has contacted the ball, the player may touch the posts, ropes or any other object outside the total length of the net, provided that it does not interfere with play.
