[edit] Equipment
Racquet.
[edit] Ball
The ball is not exactly struck, nor is it quite caught—the effect is somewhere in between. The ball is very hard, and covered by parchment.
[edit] Court
The game is played in a special indoor court, called a trinquete. For xare a net is strung across the middle of the trinquete, and the players face each other, as in tennis.
[edit] Helmets
Xare players wear helmets that are similar to those used in cycling.
