Are you just starting in competition and unsure about which pétanque ball to choose? The Obut Match Carbone ball is perfect for a beginner in boules sports. This versatile triplet from the Obut brand allows for great full-shooting and precise pointing with a plombé (weighted) shot.

Why choose this triplet of balls?

This pétanque ball is the most affordable option among the competition balls from Obut. It is designed for players who haven't yet found their preferred position in pétanque. Additionally, its excellent price-to-quality ratio makes it a great option for your first set of balls.

The carbon material used in this half-soft ball ensures a good grip. Its balance is also correct, and it adapts well to all types of terrain.

Our tips for maintaining the competition ball

Carbon tends to oxidize, so it’s essential to maintain your Obut Match Carbone balls. Start by dry cleaning with a chamois, then do a full wash with water and soap. Once the ball is clean and dry, it's time to apply Obut’s spray. If you don’t have any specific maintenance products, petroleum jelly and grease oil can also work.
