Definition von jai alai im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

a Basque ball game in which the players propel the ball using a long basket attached to the wrist

a Basque or Spanish game played in a court with a ball and a wickerwork racket

(Basque; "merry festival") Court game resembling handball. Of Basque origin, it developed from pelota and was given its present name when it was imported to Cuba in 1900. It is played between two or four players with a ball and a hurling device consisting of a long, curved wicker basket strapped to the wrist. The use of this hurling device, called a cesta, allows the ball to reach speeds up to 240 km/hr (150 mph). The court, 53.3 m (58.3 yards) long, is three-walled. The object of the game is to bounce the ball off the front wall with such speed and spin that the opponent is unable to return it. Pari-mutuel betting on jai alai is permitted in the U.S

{i} extremely fast game that is similar to handball in which a small rock-hard ball is thrown and caught in a cycle-shaped basket called a cesta
