A Basque pelota ball is a ball designed for the sport of Basque pelota, variations of the kind and size of balls are given by the peculiar category.[1]
Hand-pelota ball is traditionally made of a Buxus core, covered by several layers of Latex with a final layer of leather.[2]
A highly elastic rubber made ball is employed for speed games. The ball reaches a speed of 120 km/h in a typical service.[3] The fastest ever recorded throw of a pelota ball was 302 km/h,[4] about twice the speed of the fastest recorded pitch of a baseball.
