In Amsterdam my petanque balls were allowed in the hand luggage. In Spain, Lanzarote, I had to take them out of the hand luggage and put them in the suitcase so that they were checked in as baggage. My magnet to pick up the balls is only allowed in the hand luggage.

Been a while, but here he is!

In this competition you shoot 10 balls at 8 metres. You write down the balls shot and the carreaus and pass on that result here. Kevin will announce the 3 week winners. We do this for 4 weeks. The final 3 winner are the ones who make the most progress in the 4 weeks.

This morning I trained on the high ball. Most of the balls ran out a metre after the donnee. I tried something else, namely the round tolling ball (the curled hand as far as possible against the wrist and then a quarter turned to the left and that position changes at the end of the throw to a quarter to the left). It went surprisingly well. First give the throw with the outstretched arm direction and length and move the hand from left to right at the end. The ball only ran 30-40 cm further after the donnee. I often see the round tolling ball used by the professionals because they want to keep their shooting ball as close to the jack as possible.I would like to hear if you have experience with this and have tips for me?

Ive seen people throwing the jack in a way with much backspin. Looks almost like they are flipping a coin. Can anyone in here do it? And explain it 😊
