On my way home from competition. Swedish Cup qualifier. Today i played embarrassingly bad. No heart raise or feeling nervous. Just was not there in my mind. But i found it hard to fokus, it was like my usual ritual och routine was gone. Must be some kind of stress anyway. Shuld have had coach @Kevin ORourke by my side . This is depressing 😥

Hi. I have a problem that when shooting, the boule always hits the left side of the target. I have tried many different options, but it always goes wrong. How do I fix my mistake? Thank you.

Do any of your clubs have interesting "House Rules" or game variations that you play? Has anyone played with 2 cochonnes - scoring off of each? Lately, we've been playing some 3 vs 3 with each player using all 3 boules. That many boules out there forces practice of different techniques - precision pointing, lobbing over the front mess of boules, shooting to clear a path, etc.

Lets say its a tight match, score is 11-12. You are the only one standing with one boule left. The opponent have the point in this round but it is like 1,5m from the jack. And you have the 2nd and 3rd boule. So shoot to win or point safe and play a new round at 12-12? Wich will you choose and why? Does it matter to you if its 6,8 or 10 meters? Happy friday all!

Weird situation today. I’m in my first pool competition for 35 years after not playing for 33 years. It’s not huge but I’m actually experiencing nerves and a slight fear of the table. In normal circumstances I’m straight up, smashing balls into the pocket and don’t lose many matches. But on a tough, fast unknown table against unknown opponents where I can’t be my flamboyant self I’ve allowed the nerves and doubt to kick in. So I won the first round and waiting and working on my head and let the flow commence. It’s quite a good feeling but an annoying one as I thought with my knowledge I wouldn’t have this. Just shows how the mind can play funny tricks on you whatever game you play.
