Re(1): #359 - Can you, literally, 'throw a chula'?

Posted on August 6, 2010 at 03:00:33 PM by jsolo

Interesting question. In my short time watching, I assumed that, being professionals, they would intentionally throw chulas. How often would depend on the player and the opponent. Not a high percentage shot, but an absolute winner when it works. When it doesn't work it's either picked up on the full by the defender, or becomes a chic chac, or an easy rebote.

I had assumed they are trying for chulas when chic chacs happen. But is it the other way around?
