Rules On Receiving A Serve

Posted on August 4, 2015 at 10:00:30 AM by jandrofan

Guys

The idea of being forced to let the serve bounce before it can be caught would not work in jai alai. As Armenta mentioned it is not easy to catch the serve and be able to throw winning shots. It takes a lot if practice and time to develop this skill set.putting pressure on the server causes under and overserves
and makes the server think about how to serve to keep it away from a serve stealing front court player. Actually going behind the 7 line to receive the serve is frowned upon in professional jai alai and can be considered disrespectful
