Anotations

Scope note:

Game of medieval origins, the indoor precursor of lawn tennis; originally played by hitting a ball with the hands without rackets, thus the name meaning "palm game." Rackets were eventually introduced. It is now played on an indoor court with four irregularly sized walls, using pear-shaped, lopsided rackets to hit cloth balls that are much harder than those used in lawn tennis.
