Seeking help… right/left issue when shooting
👋 Hi Kevin. I am currently struggling with direction when shooting. Mostly I tend to miss shots on the left side. My Stand were always skewed to the right a little bit. When I skew my feed even a few cm more to the right it corrects that issue. I do this in tournaments as a „quick fix“ but it lasts only for that day, so this time at the training game I refused to correct my stance and just record myself. I feel like there is something wrong at the release part. Maybe something with my shoulder or timing of release. Usually I have that feeling that my hand snaps into the right position so I know immendiatly if my ball is straight or not. That feeling is totally gone. Would appreciate any feedback.

Hi Rick, I have the same problem though I am left handed - long shots missing to the left. I found my little finger was gripping too hard - boules are too big for my hand.

I bought one from Decathlon, space for three boules in the lower compartment and two zipped pockets. Reasonable price too.

'Always take the one'. Last Wednesday night We lost 13 -11 against a much higher ranked side - Div 1 Kent Petanque League. There was an end when we were 11-2 up, holding with spare boules where we should have taken the one, but gifted 3 points on with a missed shot. They were both collective decisions amongst the three of us but it gave them control of the coche. We had been playing to about 9 metres and they switched to 7-8 metres playing to the edge of the piste. They were re energised after this and started playing much better, harsh lesson learnt.

Match Scenario Friday 😀
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!

Depending on who is left to play, personally point first (as I'm better at pointing) especially if the opposition's two balls include a shooter who is having a bad game, adds to the pressure.

It’s time to go ALL IN
Tomorrow I give my notice to my employer and landlord. I’m off to live and play in Aigne near Carcassonne. I’ll be filming regularly and offering French Boule breaks when I’ve sorted everything. It’s time to make my coaching a priority and to unleash myself on the French Petanque scene and document the entire process. You heard it here first
