7(c)

In addition to the Lets described elsewhere, the following are Lets if the player on the side whose turn it is to strike the ball could otherwise have made a good return:

i. When an opponent of such player violates Rule 5 except for those violations described in Rule 6.

ii. When such player refrains from striking at the ball because of a reasonable fear of injuring an opponent.

iii. When such player before or during the act of striking or striking at the ball is touched by either of his opponents, their racquets or anything either of them wears or carries.

iv. When on the first bounce from the floor the ball hits on or above the seven foot line on the back wall; and

v. If a player thinks the ball has broken while play is in progress, he must nevertheless complete the point and then immediately request a Let, giving the ball promptly to the Referee for inspection. The Referee shall allow a Let only upon such prompt request if the ball in fact proves to be broken (See Rule 11(c)).
