Re(3): Dania Court vs. Magic City Court Jai Alai

I love your visual description of the entertainment value of watching this incredible sport
on the Dania Court. Entertainment value of watching a point is exactly what I was comparing
when contrasting Magic City with Dania. Here is an elaboration of why I prefer singles at Magic City and doubles at Dania.I am not talking about betting, just watching.



Singles at Magic City is more exciting because the action is incredibly fast paced
and the points last long because catching is relatively easy for all shots that can be thrown.
This is especially true for rebotes because the short court allows the player to get to the right
position to return a high quality rebote. Kill shots must be thrown perfectly to kill the point,
otherwise the opponent will have a better opportunity to kill the point.Players must be equally
skilled on both the right and left sides because the speed of the ball and the shorter court doesn't allow time to switch to
a more favorite side.Pure power is greatly diminished in importance and dejadas don't produce winners.Serving is less important.

Doubles is more exciting at Dania because the size of the court and the speed (and sound) of the pelota
makes watching the point a thing of geometric beauty.The strategy of trying to maneuver the point in such a way that the front courter
can achieve a good opportunity to kill the point makes the anticipation of what kill shot will be thrown a very intense moment
during the development of the point.Rebotes are extremely critical and provide both offensive and defensive
opportunities.Shots thrown deep into the corner and on the wall with the backhand or crossing the wall with the forehand
provide critical scary moments for the backcourter.Frontcourters must have great rebotes and have several kill shots in their
arsenal to effectively end the point.In summary, the pure geometric beauty of the big court and the abilty of either the front
or back courter to get to the ball and continue the rally a very exciting and enjoyable athletic endeavor.
Pure power is greatly enhanced in importance and dejadas are valuable kill shots.Serving is very important and a bad serve
can quickly produce a winning kill shot from the opponent frontcourter.
