Excessive follow through is one in which the player's racket arm is extended towards a straight arm position with the shaft horizontal, particularly when extended for a short period of time. An excessive follow through is constituted when the arm extends with a wider arc than the continued line of flight of the ball.

Under Rule 12 interference occurs when a player has to wait for an excessive swing. If it is considered to be dangerous the Referee shall apply Rule 17 (Conduct Warning, etc.) to control the situation.
