You chose it with care. Yet, right from the first ends, your new set of petanque boules doesn't quite deliver the expected feel. One boule falls short, another slips from your hand, and your shots suddenly lack precision. Did you make the wrong choice? Not necessarily. A change in weight, diameter, or grip feel can disrupt reference points built up over many games. Before judging your new boules, take the time to get used to them.
