Re(1): "Home run ball" - fact or fiction?

It has never happened at Orlando, and no one here has ever thrown the basic home run of front wall, back wall, bounce, over frontcourters head, on the regular roster with any consistency, in so long. It is also not a common shot. The last player who i think threw it the best was Charola. A good frontcourter knows you have to aim low to the wall and make the pelota rise. He never threw it too high on the back wall, which is what most all here seem to do in the past twenty years. But the no bounce home run...never seen it here or heard of it.
