You should have six boules (sorry, I just can't call them balls).

1. Pointing practice:

- Play real games with two sets of three boules: player A (you) vs. player b (you also)

- player A, always points in the squatting position vs. player B who always points in the standing upright position. See who wins the most game. Practice for at least one month so that you can find out what position you are best at.

- player A, always points in the squatting position and uses the Rolling Throw, vs. player B, who always use the Half lob (la demie-portée),
- or uses the High Lob (la portée) for a change.

- Do the same while in the stand -up position.

Next, go to the section: COACHING on the left of your screen for good practices.

Are you a shooter or a pointer?

2. Play a real game: Pointer A vs. Shooter B. A points three boules therefore has three points on the ground. B then shoots (or try to) each boule. If B shot all three boules, the shooter has 3 points. If B missed all three boules, his name is Guy... sorry, he scores 3 points and A has 0. If B has 1 point, then B has 2. The total is always 13.

NOTE: Often I see players throwing one boule (no jack) and shooting. All they practice is shooting. I always throw the jack, point three boules and shoot each one.

Good practice.
Guy
