Re(4): #359 - Can you, literally, 'throw a chula'?

I have always thought that a chula is a shot thrown with the reverse that hits the crack right at the floor and the back wall that comes out with no bounce at all. What is the true definition of chula? If it is what I think it is I have only seen about 10 in all of my years of watching jai-alai. I doubt very much Roberto threw 8 of them using that definition.

I doubt anyone plans on throwing a chula, they are just trying to hit the back wall as close to the floor as possible and would happen to chula just by chance.
