Description

Our team designed this soft carbon steel boule for advanced players looking for efficiency while shooting and pointing.

AVAILABLE SIZES

Range of diameters and weights: - 72mm - 680 g / 700 g - smooth - 73mm - 680 g / 700 g - smooth - 74mm - 680 g / 700 g - smooth - 75mm - 680 g / 700 g - smooth - 76mm - 680 g / 700 g - smooth

SOFT BOULE MARKS ON IMPACT

These very soft boules mark as you play, this is due to their soft treatment that ensures good cushioning.If you play competitively, 2 tri-sets a year are recommended to preserve optimal playing conditions.

Dampening

The combination of a heat treatment and a surface treatment makes the boule's exterior harder than its interior for optimal cushioning.

MACHINING THE SHELL'S INTERIOR

The interior of the half shells has been machined before assembly to remove all metal residue and to ensure uniform thickness. This process greatly improves the boule's balance during play.

COLOUR FASTNESS

The colour rapidly lightens with every game played.

How to choose the right petanque boule

You should choose your petanque boule based on several factors. Your playing style (pointer, shooter, all-rounder) will determine: - the required bounce quality (hard, semi-soft, soft or very soft) - the weight of your boule (heavier for pointers and lighter for shooters) The size of your hand will determine the boule's diameter.

What does hardness mean for a petanque boule?

The boule's hardness is expressed in the ROCKWELL HRC unit or in kg/mm². For example, 35 HRC corresponds to 110 kg/mm². The higher the number, the harder the boule (FIPJP accepted minimum is 35 HRC, accepted maximum is 50 HRC).The harder the boule, the less likely it is to get damaged, and the higher its elasticity, and vice versa. Regular players who use soft boules should consider frequently changing their boules to avoid undermining their game.

How competition-approved KOODZA boules are made

Our competition boules are hollow. These are the steps of our manufacturing process: - A lump of steel heated to +/- 1000 C° is flattened and then stamped or forged into a hemisphere - These hemispheres are machined inside, welded together, and rotated until they are spherical. - The boule is then engraved, baked, and dipped into water, which will determine its hardness. - Finally, they are polished or varnished and then inspected.

How to clean your petanque boules?

After each match, wipe off dust with a clean cloth. Once a month, oil your petanque boules to prevent them from rusting. Cleaning regularly lengthens the lifespan of your petanque boules while also ensuring the quality of your match.

Carbon treated for good cushioning and an excellent grip, this boule is FIPJP certified.Available in 5 diameters and 2 weights.

Cushioning

Low bounce, the boule recoils little during carreau.

Impact resistance

This soft boule, treated with 37 HRC (117kg/mm²) carbon, marks on impact.

Compatibility

This boule can be picked up with a magnetic boule lifter.
