Xare

description Xare Overview

Xare is a discipline of Basque pelota played in a covered trinquet with a small, loose-net racquet called a xare. In the standard doubles format, one front player and one back player return the pelota against the walls, with the flexible net favoring a gliding, controlled return rather than a stiff racket stroke. The instrument is also called the Argentine racquet, reflecting the form's historical association with Argentina. [Comite de Pelote](https://comite-pelote-basque.eus/project/xare/)
