In my first full year of pรฉtanque I played with a lot of different teams (13). As I wasnโ€™t an established player with a set team, I became a pรฉtanque nomad, different team every competition. Some were a great laugh , some very negative, other were indecisive, and some were constructive. This year I have been approached and asked to join 4 different teams. How do you go about selecting the team youโ€™ll play with for the year? How do you guys decide who to play with?

Im at the start of pertanqu, historically I throw myself into sport only to lose a little interest shortly after, im aware of this and fighting hard not to follow the same path, I'm just starting to get noticed and invited to play in competition , im encouraging friends to come and play for fun which im hoping will help me stick with Pertanqu as I'll get a serious game and fun with friends where winning isn't the aim ๐Ÿคž , great discussion point Donald
Just for funโ€ฆ A Match scenario!
Lets say its a tight match, score is 11-12. You are the only one standing with one boule left. The opponent have the point in this round but it is like 1,5m from the jack. And you have the 2nd and 3rd boule. So shoot to win or point safe and play a new round at 12-12? Wich will you choose and why? Does it matter to you if its 6,8 or 10 meters? Happy friday all!

At my level it would be point , I would be most comfortable at 6 or 8 meters. In 12 months i would hope to shoot and win ๐Ÿ†

Match Scenario Friday ๐Ÿ˜€
Lets go for a new match scenario, if you guys think its boring just say and ill stop ๐Ÿ˜Š 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 ftรฅn jack. How do you play! A: Point 2 times and hope for a miss or hope he doesnโ€™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? ๐Ÿ˜Ž Happy Friday everyone!

Im being encouraged to shoot at my club so I would step up and go for it , it's great when the form is with you and you naturally know your going to win ๐Ÿ†, im trying to stay in the positive as I often miss, previously in sport I wouldn't generally play for fun however my pertanqu is like being a 28 handicap again lol
Shootingproblem
Hi. I have a problem that when shooting, the boule always hits the left side of the target. I have tried many different options, but it always goes wrong. How do I fix my mistake? Thank you.
