@Jill Butt as a ladder you are walking the distance not yourself you go from 6 to 7 etc not concentrating on one specific lenght

Well I can see I have a lot of work to do if these are beginner exercises. Lovely afternoon here in Scotland so thought I’d give them a try. Ex 1 - 4pts though if 3 boules width be lot better lol Ex 2 - 2pts though run through 4 jacks Ex 3 - 1pt Ex4 - 0pts not even close,boules rolled on way to much

Tournament Day!!!
Finally i had a good competition day! I managed to find a inner calmness in combination with a strong focus. My follow through in my shots were fantastic. I actually think Ive don’t had this percentage in a tournament in a very long time. Now i sit here and try to analyze how i got to this mental state. I think that alot of the result is in the preparation. My thought about the tournament the day before. My goals, and my ”homework” i set for myself in advance. And of course the focus… When I started shooting carreaues by just focusing on a dot on the opponent boules, it almost felt relaxing and easy. Hope i can carry this feeling with me in thr future. But… we didnt win the tournament. After a 13-1, 13-0 win we lost a game 0-13 against really tough opponents. And we were sent to the B finals. But we won the B finals so im happy with it. Just wanted to share the joy and encourage you guys to keep working on thr mental strengths. Keep adding those 1% improvements 💖

Carreau
When shooting lot of top players carreau, I know it is down to practice, practice oh and practice. However, is it mainly hitting the boule in the right place, the arc of the boule, or the spin put on the boule. It it is the spin what is the best way to practice spinning boule? I cock wrist right back bring arm through open hand out finishing as if I was doing an old Rome salute and it still trundles on as if I’d done nothing 🤷

Crazy game
A lovely sunny day yesterday, 30 + out to play, the piste was drying out and running faster, I was lucky to be drawn out with some of the better players in our 6 games , disaster my recent form was gone, my normal reliable point eluded me all day my shooting was poor at best , something as changed I actually left for home happy and looking forward to my next session, is it the coaching we are receiving I think it maybe , crazy game 😉

Strange how that happens Paul, though you get one or two shots that make you think I can really do this. Then the next time playing virtually nothing goes wrong. Think that is the problem with most club players is consistency and that separates them from the top level players of any country.

Are you playing this weekend?
My first proper practice for 2026 starts this weekend as I’m restricted when it’s cold. First competition is next weekend when I play with a GB junior player to help his game
