Acroballistics | Jai Alai 85m/s? @Acroballistics | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
An explanation of why jai alai is faster than slinging. A wooden cesta substitute.
*correction: After more observation of the throws by professionals I would say the high velocities are achieved also by the conservation of angular momentum. Going from a high radius early on the throw to a lower radius late on the throw before release. this means that the short length of the cesta is actually balanced to have a short late radius and a long length of early acceleration.
