A ricochet (/ ˈ r ɪ k ə ʃ eɪ / RIK-ə-shay; French:) is a rebound, bounce, or skip off a surface, particularly in the case of a projectile. Most ricochets are caused by accident and while the force of the deflection decelerates the projectile, it can still be energetic and almost as dangerous as before the deflection.
The "chula" is when the ball rebounds low off the back wall with very little to no bounce, almost rolling along the floor. Since there is no wall on the right side, all jai alai players must play right-handed (wear the cesta on their right hand), as the spin of a left-handed throw would give a tremendous advantage to the left handed player due ...

The game requires the ball to be hit to the floor before hitting the wall, but in other respects is similar to squash.
