pelota
Fronton court sphere
Pelota is a family of ball games played in Spain and Latin America, typically involving hitting a ball against a wall with the hand, a wooden racket, or a curved basket strapped to the wrist.
Jai alai is the best-known variety.
The word is Spanish for ball, and in Spanish-speaking contexts pelota simply means any ball used in sports.
