Boule weights

To optimise your game, it is recommended that you play with a boule whose weight is suited to your style of play (pointer, middle player, shooter).

OBUT'S ADVICE

• The most usual weights for men: 690 - 710 g
• The most usual weights for women: 680 - 700 g

 

DEPENDING ON YOUR TYPE OF PLAY, YOU WILL OPT FOR A DIFFERENT WEIGHT:

 

Pointers will prefer a heavier boule because it stops faster.

Shooters will prefer a lighter boule, because less effort is required, and the shot is more precise.

OBUT MAKES ALL THE APPROVED WEIGHTS

To meet the needs of all kinds of petanque players, Obut offers them a comprehensive range of boules, in all the approved weights.

MORE ABOUT BOULE WEIGHTS

To be used in official competitions, after meeting all the requirements of their specifications, petanque boules must be approved by the International and French Petanque and Jeu Provençal Federations (F.I.P.J.P. and F.F.P.J.P.).

Weights vary between 650 g and 800 g.
