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

Well done
Under pressure
Following on from my disastrous Tuesday, towards the end of the last game my better playing partner made a comment regarding gripping the boule to firmly and the effect it can have, I didnt really think to much about it, anyway I've just been up for a practice and tried a less firm grip/hold seems to work, how do you control pressure in the grip/hold ?
