Paleta Cuero

A raquette made of beech wood or other noble wood and a leather ball (the smallest of those used in specialties with leather balls) are used. It is very attractive and spectacular, due to the speed of the game. Despite the similarities between the two tools, the modalities are very different. The practice of fronton requires agility and dexterity, as well as physical depth and in ratcheting, technique, skill and strength are decisive elements. Spain and France are the main dominators in fronton and Argentina in ratchet.
