How to choose the right pétanque boule?

Choose the pétanque boule that's right for you based on several criteria.

Your type of game (pointer, shooter, middle) will determine:
- the quality of bounce you're looking for (hard, 1/2 soft, soft or very soft boule)
- the weight of your boule (heavier for pointers and lighter for shooters)

The size of your hand will determine the diameter of the boule.

What does the hardness of a pétanque ball mean?

Ball hardness is expressed in ROCKWELL "HRC" units or in kg/mm².
For example, 45 HRC corresponds to 146 kg/mm².

The higher the number, the harder the ball. The harder the ball, the less damage it suffers, but the more it bounces, and vice versa.

How are GEOLOGIC competition-approved boules made?

Our competition boules are hollow. Here are the stages in our manufacturing process:
- A slab of steel heated to +/- 1000°C is flattened, then stamped or forged to shape a 1/2 sphere.
- These 1/2 spheres are then machined on the inside, welded and turned to obtain the spherical shape.
- The boule is engraved, baked and then soaked in baths that determine its hardness.
- Finally, it is polished or varnished and checked.

How to care for pétanque boules?

At the end of each game, remove the dust with a clean cloth. Once a month, oil the boules to prevent rust. Regular maintenance will prolong the life of your pétanque boules, while preserving their playing qualities.
