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

🇫🇷 On Tuesday I do something that terrifies and excites me in equal measure. I leave my job — my only income — and move to the Languedoc in the south of France. No salary. No safety net. Just a camera, 40 years of pétanque in my hands, and a belief that I can build a life around this game I love. As you know, last weekend I finished Vice Champion of Manche Promotion Triples. This weekend I’m packing my boule plus a few cases and move to France permanently to play and film full time. I mention that sequence deliberately. This isn’t a retirement project or a content experiment. This is a serious competitive player making an irreversible commitment to the game — and bringing this community with him. But I’ll be honest with you. To make this work — to stay in France, keep filming, keep competing, and not have to come home with my tail between my legs — I need a team around me. That’s why today I’m opening just 20 Founding Member spots. And don’t worry this group will always be free for anyone with my normal advice and support from each other. If you become a Founding Member, you’re not just getting coaching. You’re joining my team. You’re the people who believed in this when it was just an idea and a one-way ticket. You’re the reason it works. And I will never forget that. Before I tell you what’s included, let me tell you what this actually is. This isn’t a subscription to content. It’s a mentoring relationship — before your competitions, after them, and every step of the game in between. The kind of support you’d pay a YouTube coach for, from someone you already trust, who is now living inside the French pétanque world full time and bringing everything he finds back to you. I am that confident you’ll feel the value of this that I’m offering a 7 day free trial. No risk. No obligation, to experience what proper pétanque mentoring feels like. I’d be genuinely surprised if you wanted to leave. A word on what this community already is: A collection of like minded players who want to improve and progress their game with support, encouragement and safety.

Morning all, do any of you have a review on a suitable boule rucksack, im looking at getting something with a separate compartment for the boule, the Obut one looks good anyone have any info , cheers

Lets go for a new match scenario, if you guys think its boring just say and ill stop 😊 Game: The Score is 11-11 Both Teams have 2boules left, its the shooter in the opponents team that got the 2 boules in hand. He/she have had i high hitRate in this game. The opponent have the closest boule, 60cm from jack and your team have the second at 100cm ftån jack. How do you play! A: Point 2 times and hope for a miss or hope he doesn’t hit a carreaue? B: Shoot the Jack, guessing his good hitRate is to hard to ignore. C: Shoot 2 times and let him have 1 point. Or maby you have a other solution? 😎 Happy Friday everyone!

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.
