Re(2): Why is the Split Placement so rare in Long Court Jai-Alai? Posted on August 5, 2025 at 06:19:17 PM by alq
Christophe had the best intentional split placement that I have ever seen with the
backhand on both the serve and during rallies when he was in the center of the court or more outside and the his opposing
frontcourter was closer to the inside.Arregui had a great split placement off the serve because he also had a great remate and if his opposing frontcourter was running for the carom he just adjusted and threw the splitter.
Del Rio had a great forehand high split placement both off the serve and during rallies.
On a pelota court it was not practiced
much by the pros and it also had to hit the side and front wall simultaneosly-right into the crack.If it didn't hit the crack perfectly the opponent could then throw his own winner.
