Indoor boule update
My indoor boules arrived yesterday, im impressed they feel very much like outdoor boule, Mrs C not impressed with the noise so it's an activity for when she's out lol, anyway having just had a go at 5m shooting I soon got into the swing, they definitely help I made a tweek to my line and release and managed to hit 5 in a row , I've chosen 5m as im struggling outdoors with my drill which stands at a 43% hit rate at 6m , onwards 😀
Petanque abstinence
"Winter is here..." In Denmark is has been quite windy, snowing and below freezing point for several weeks. We do have indoor petanque terrains/pitchs in Denmark but from where I live just north of Copenhagen, it is quite a driving distance. So I went to a nearby "Boulebar" (the one and only indoor in Copenhagen). 90 minutes for 125 danish "kroner" - thats approx 17€ or 15£. Just by myself and with the purpose of training pointing and (mostly) shooting. One from the nice staff joined my for 15 - 20 minutes - and I "won" 10-7... Anyway - It was nice to do some petanque practice. And some of the pitchs are quite challenging. If You suffer from the winter and have a boulebar or the like nearby - it is highly recommend. Alone for training or with friends for playing, or just for fun - You can by beer as well.

Shooting, tempo and acceleration
I have problem with shooting. Unfortunate I look on YouTube to get the best technique and of course ending up with to many thoughts when it come to the swing, my target it to swing like the asians, and use basicle same swing for pointing and shooting but must realize that I might not have the flexiibiity l needed. I practice with wrist up and the scoop, but when I look at my self I miss the wosh and the swing is just lame, and the distinct stop was not there today where shall the acceleration start. I did have it but seems I lost it on the way. I also shoot short or not straight usually to the left, how shall I do to get more straight. I’m ok at hitting the impact mark, but when there is a boule to hit the loose and natural swing wanish. Any ideas
