How it's used
This term refers specifically to the sport played with a curved basket called a cesta. It is quite rare in local Hong Kong sports culture, so most people will only recognize the name if they have encountered international sports broadcasts or specific athletic clubs. It is distinct from squash or tennis, which are far more common in the city.
