Gene has realy taken to the game, and here we see him trying out the role of "shooter."
The natural progression in petanque is that we all start out as pointers, then after a few chances taken in games, work on our shooting.
Training to be a Shooter?
- The best method for shooting practice is to lay out a line of boules at the closest distance (6 meters); stand in the circle; and try shooting the boules directly (rolling shots).
- then line two boules front and back and using a lob - try shooting just the boule in "back"
- After getting moderate success, move the boules further and further away ( eventually to 10 meters).
