I have two needs for cochonnets. We just started the New Mexico Pétanque Club. I would like to buy like 100 cochonnets with our club logo to hand out to members and out-of-town visitors. Also, I want about ten for personal use, but I would like to get them for less than $2.50 apiece from Petanque America. Any suggestions?

Been a while, but here he is!

I created this little video today after last nights get together and it got me thinking that it might be fun to do a LIVE version tomorrow. Please watch and let me know if you think this would be good value to you as a player and I’ll set up a LIVE for tomorrow evening Serious About Pétanque?

I just lost in the second game in a single tournament here in Bourg Saint Andéol. I’ve beaten the tough opponents in the first game and was confident going into the second game. I thought I had practised and worked out most of the terrains this morning whilst waiting for the competition and filming a little. However, nothing prepared me for the nightmare terrain that was chosen. I threw the Jack initially to 8 m and threw my first boule which promptly hit a stone and steamed off at a right angle and off the terrain!!!! I had a quiet word with myself and said shit happens through the second boule which hit another bastard stone and went 4 m to the back. It was at this days that I realised it would be much easier to shoot than to point. In the end, I lost quite a close game to a very good player, but whilst I was throwing 1 to 2 boule off the terrain he was only throwing one boule off the terrain. He won quite a few ends with 5/6 meter measures! Shooting was also difficult because of the stones and I don’t think I’ve ever lost to a terrain in my life. Although my opponent got to 13 before I did, I still don’t think he deserved the win. Have you ever lost to a terrain before?

I've recorded some good videos this week once I started to feel better. I had cancelled my filming schedule which gave me ample tie to focus on some lessons. These will be release one the next 2-3 days and I'd appreciate your thoughts on them and if you want a specific video recorded to address any issue you might have in the game. Here is one I recorded specifically for @Zac Kelly-lord https://youtu.be/fusFNESYDhQ?si=_iAapY54TGrG0Lca
