The complete method for improving your petanque

Sound familiar?

What’s stopping you improving always has a cause

1. 01
   When I shoot, my arm sweeps across to the left or right, and I don’t know why.

   When I point, my boule veers off to the side as soon as it lands.

   That’s the “wrist twist”: your grip and release need reworking before the fault sets in for good.

   Module 7Mental preparation

4. 04

   Reading the terrain from behind the jack, choosing your landing spot, judging the distance: it can all be learnt.

   Module 5Pointing

5. 05

   Without feedback on your game, you keep making the same mistakes. The programme teaches you to analyse your own game so you can correct yourself.
