Developing a unique playing style?
What do you think about playing style, and how do you actually develop your own? I mostly taught myself by watching YouTube, reading books, and searching for information online. At the club, people often say that everyone plays in their own way. I donโt fully agree with that. In my view, there are certain fundamentals you canโt ignore โ for example, without a straight arm movement, you simply canโt throw a truly straight boule. Thatโs why I really like step-by-step explanations like in this article, which i use as a reference in my training: https://petanque.wordpress.com/how-to/how-to-throw-a-boule/ When I train to reach a higher level, I sometimes consciously try playing styles from top players like Suchaud, Cocciolo, Molinas. But how to incorporate the most useful parts for my own style, at what point does everything start to fall into place logically? Do you have your own playing style, and how did you develop it?
