Following a change in their manufacturing, all of our MATCH + petanque boules are now produced only in a black satin finish.
Our large stock of sets of MATCH + 2-grade striated now consists of both finishes. As a result, when you purchase this model, you will randomly receive either the black satin finish or the black satin finish on soft-shotblasted steel .

Whichever finish you have, "black satin" or "black satin on soft-shotblasted steel", the MATCH + petanque boules remain strictly the same :

- Designed for the most demanding players MATCH + petanque boules still offer the same performance.
- After a few games of petanque, the boule's touch will be very similar.
- Dampening capacity, balance and performance in the game remain identical regardless of the finish.

• Touch : slightly rough for an excellent hand grip.
• Wear : pronounced wear.
• Carbon steel : requires regular oiling to avoid oxidation.
• Boules made in St-Bonnet-le-Château, France.
• Competition petanque boules approved for competition use by the FIPJP.

• Set of 3 Obut MATCH+ 2-grade striated petanque boules approved for competition use by the FIPJP.
• One jack engraved with OBUT.
• One temporary storage bag screen-printed with OBUT, leaving you free to choose your pouch at a later date.
•  3-boule supplied set in a cardboard box. Dimensions 84 x 89 x 248 mm.

Finish

• The Obut MATCH + 2-grade striated pétanque boule has a black coating when it is supplied to the consumer.
• As requested by good players, the "black" fades very quickly after the first few games.
• If this boule is not used for a while, a fine oxidation of the surface will appear, which will please players looking for a grippy feel in the hand.
  
  

Maintenance

• The MATCH + 2-grade striated, made of carbon steel, needs cleaning after every game of pétanque and at least once a month if it is not used.
• We recommend the Obut maintenance product.

A little Obut advice : Do not leave your boules sets in the boot of your car, as they are exposed to sudden changes in temperature, which can lead to condensation.

Do not store your boules sets in bags with a foam compartment. The permanent humidity of the foam increases the oxidation of the boules.
These high humidity conditions will, in the long run, be detrimental to your boules by encouraging their oxidation.

Remember to take your balls out of the boot of your car or a bag with a foam compartment to store them in a dry place.
