Back to the UK this weekend
I’m returning to the UK this weekend for one of my favourite tournaments, the Worthing weekend which has a singles, doubles and triples for cash. I’m VERY interested in how my game will be after a month of playing in France every day. I will have to adjust tactics accordingly to the English game and I’m playing with a future French Junior Champion in the triples so I’m excited to see how I play in the middle .

Good luck and I hope it goes well for you
Correct boule size?
How do I know I have correct boule size? If I compare all manufacturers suggestions and some suppliers my ball perfect size vary from 72-75 mm. (Handlength and longfinger size guides) I have then considered OBUT is the biggest manufacturer so they have probably some experience, and then it should be 73 mm, but in the lower end handsize 82-86 mm -> 73 mm. (I saw a list where many good male player had size and weight listed , and most had 71-73 680-690) Due to my handshape I think I could gain with 72 but how do I know if that is correct size ? Is there any exercise practice to do to decide with size is the correct one or is it only based on feeling ? I started with OBUT Match 73/690 my first ball in my short career, works ok, but when do a high lob or plombing it releases to early, is it size or technique? Then I tested OBUT RCC 72/690 a used ball, but very slippery, ok when hi loob and slippery when plomb, but shooting miss left, size or technique? Now I got MS Master Inox 72/690 to test, it is a used boule so the surface have good grip. Any suggestions how to decide correct size quickly, so I can drop that mental thought and focus on playing better.

I just got some new boules and found them a little slippery at times, mostly because they are still wearing the new coating off, but I tried using a wet cloth, it helps a lot, that's if you are aloud to do that where you are. They changed the rules here a few years ago and alot of our top players do this. Just a idea that made help you when the boules feel slippery

Well done Jimmy Skog, 3rd isn't a bad place to finish, better than 4th or 5th etc

I would of considered shooting the coch before it was to late, but only if the shooter was feeling confident in their abilities to get it. Otherwise the other option was to point in against 1 of the opponents boule if I could, to make it harder for them to shoot and risk taking their own boule out too. Sometimes you have to risk it.
