B only because it has a bit more information on it. You can use it anywhere and people would know what it's all about and where to find you.
An exceptional game and the growth of a junior
If you have t seen this game yet you MUST watch it. I first filmed Jason around 18 months ago when his father had a very long chat with me about his attitude and how he let his emotions get on top of him. I had a little chat with him in poor French and continued to chat to him over the 2/3 days of filming. The difference in this young man is incredible. He was always red raw in his face, massively upset if he didn’t carreau everything and he couldn’t accept defeat. It’s a true story of redemption of the mind and a superb example of working on defeating your emotions and making passion your strength. I’m not taking any accolades for this, it’s merely an observation. His father had got to his wits end and felt a conversation with someone who isn’t in the French squad might help. I’m sure he has plenty of magnificent people around him https://youtu.be/Q41lKqqwADg?is=gMZAtHKjcgH7Zy4Y

Was a awesome game to watch, it had a bit of everything. The young guy did so well too, I wouldn't be surprised if he is a world champion one day.
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 .

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
What car?
