I was never tought jai-alai and never bothered to ask which way to hold the cesta. I would like to know which way YOU hold the cesta for reverse and which is the PROPER way to hold it. Would love to hear from some pros or ex-pros too. Would u hold the cesta one way only or differently depending if u wanted to put more power on the ball, like when u have to throw from 13-14 line?
Position 1- left hand covers glove
position 2- Grip the cesta by the gloved area
position 3- Hand sideways
