    I thought it was called 'Hi Li'!

    This site has plastic toy-like pictures but the fast paced game I saw involved wicker type long 'claws'!

    The game is called pelota vasca in Spain but the Western Hemisphere name of Jai-alai, which is Basque for "merry festival", was given when it was introduced in Cuba. This was due to the fact that this game was played at festivals or fiestas in Spain's Pyrenees Mountains for hundreds of years. The game was then played in the open air with the walls of churches being used to bounce the ball on.
