La Boule Bleue Carbon 115 carbon petanque boule

Who are these petanque boules for?

La Boule Bleue Carbone 115 is a carbon steel petanque boule designed primarily for shooters and offensive all-rounders. With its hardness of 115 kg/mm², it is a true soft boule, both on paper and on the petanque terrain. Its excellent shock absorption and low rebound after impact make it the perfect ally for players looking to achieve clean lobe shots.

Nevertheless, this triplet set is versatile enough to suit certain pointers, particularly those who prefer high lobes on difficult terrains. Its consistent performance and great grip allow it to adapt to various playing styles and multiple surfaces.

Why choose La Boule Bleue Carbone 115 triplet sets?

With the Carbone 115, La Boule Bleue offers one of the most popular soft competition boules on the market. This model features an excellent quality-price ratio, delivering performances worthy of much more expensive triplet sets.

One of its main strengths lies in its double-tempering process. After an initial hardening, the boule undergoes a second heat treatment designed to soften its surface. This manufacturing process provides excellent anti-rebound behavior and outstanding shock absorption. On the field, the boule rebounds very little after impact, naturally favoring clean hits and perfect stays (carreaux).

This triplet set also stands out for its great longevity for a soft boule. Despite its hardness of 115 kg/mm², it generally marks less quickly and retains its dimensions and balance for longer.

Another key advantage is its highly comfortable grip. When brand new, the protective black varnish may feel slightly slippery. After a few games, this coating gradually wears off to reveal a matte grey steel, slightly textured, which offers an excellent grip and outstanding game feel.

Finally, the Carbone 115 offers many customization options. It is available in smooth or patterned versions and can be engraved with initials, a first name, or a date to create a unique triplet set.

Our tips for maintaining your competition boules

Like all carbon steel boules, the Carbone 115 requires regular maintenance to preserve its playing qualities and prevent rust.

After each petanque game, wipe your boules carefully with a dry cloth or microfiber chamois to remove moisture and dust. From time to time, a quick clean with soapy water will remove more stubborn dirt.

Once the boules are perfectly dry, apply a thin layer of oil or a specialized maintenance product to protect the steel against oxidation. Finally, always store your triplet set in a dry place.
