So the �clip� in traditional Jai-Alai is considered �bad form� or accidental. The reverse (or what we call a backhand) is supposed to stay so close to the side will that you can see it skipping. Pulling that off the side wall is a skillful catch.

The backhand two wall works at MC for a couple of reasons but the traditional pelota comes off both the side wall and frontis differently, it�s hard to get it to open and there is more room and time for the backcourter to catch it and if he has shots he can kill it.
