The one whereby the players have a wooden (I think) tube shaped extension they stick on their arm and slide/server the ball forward with great power. They used them on MTV's Jackass to fire oranges at over 100+ mph towards people.

It's called "pelota vasca". vasca refers to someplace in spain (el pais vasco) I think. pelota means ball.

There are some variations to it. It can be played without an extension, with a concave extension (similar to a claw). I don't know the names of the variations. I think pelota vasca is without an extension.
This is without an extension...you can see some padding in the fingers.
