Definition
A curved wooden racket with a woven pocket, used in the Basque sport of jai alai to throw and catch a ball.
Etymology
From Basque 'chistera,' a word of disputed origin possibly related to 'chista' (jest or joke) or derived from the shape of the basket-like racket used in the ancient ball game.
Kelly Says
Jai alai players using chisteras can throw balls over 150 mph—faster than baseball pitches—making it one of the world's fastest moving-ball sports that few people outside the Basque region know about.
