You throw it for the same reason that you slap a two wall on someone. If your opponent is always cheating on the inside you have to show him the 'dos' to let him know that you know.. same with a dejada. If your opponent is already moving back for position when you have not released you can give yourself a pretty good chance of winning the point by laying him up.. This shot takes alot of composure. You're in the middle of a heated point and you have to controll your adrenalin enough to slow everything down. a good dejada is going down when it hits the front wall.. A great dejada is going down when it hits the front wall and it catches some side wall after the first bounce,on the up. That will kill it quick...HELL YEAH, it's fair.. All's fair in Love,war, and jai-alai..
