A superb welcome to France for me
I was filming today in the Coupe de France and 3 French players of quite superb talent came up to me and thanked me for my footage. One in particular mentioned he has been suffering with shooting and my videos really helped him. He spoke pretty good English and made a huge thing of telling all present that I had “saved his game”. This was a remarkable thing for me. Especially as I have never been to this area or club

I’m thinking of buying a new set of boules this year
Just a quick poll, I’m thinking of doing video boule reviews for different brands and models and this would be valuable to me! I know @Paul Cornwell already bought some from me and MS which is great and shows my advice can help

@John Carter well done for noticing this, they are AI generated and this is down to my prompts not being quite good enough yet… I’m not great at Canva or creating things like this so I’m attempting to use AI to assist me. Lots of work to do yet before they are released
No way the Mrs is letting me have one of these lol

Seeking help… right/left issue when shooting
👋 Hi Kevin. I am currently struggling with direction when shooting. Mostly I tend to miss shots on the left side. My Stand were always skewed to the right a little bit. When I skew my feed even a few cm more to the right it corrects that issue. I do this in tournaments as a „quick fix“ but it lasts only for that day, so this time at the training game I refused to correct my stance and just record myself. I feel like there is something wrong at the release part. Maybe something with my shoulder or timing of release. Usually I have that feeling that my hand snaps into the right position so I know immendiatly if my ball is straight or not. That feeling is totally gone. Would appreciate any feedback.

I noticed a number of things, the jackets will not be helping but I realise this is weather dependent. You hit well and have a great loop. Is there any chance of getting some close up footage from different angles? The body often knows where the issue is without over analysis. Many times a quick fix is a mental choice that helps the mind to relax as if some magic has happened when the body and mind know exactly what to do, we often just don’t trust it. Try to shoot deliberately to the right rather than the left as a mental decision just to see this fact in action
