| notes: | Marco Foyot, one of the world’s best petanque players, inspired his co-authors to write a complete survey of the game of petanque. Included in this book are the following subjects: the history of the game, techniques (boules, how to play, the choice of the partners, pointing and shooting), tactics (among other things the psychology of the game and also some frequently used shots) and the way to practice. The book is illustrated with a lot of photographs and drawings and some examples of very successful shots from the past. Marco Foyot pleads, passionately, in favour of petanque as a true sport.
The contents of the 1991 re-edition are almost identical to the original which was printed in 1984, however the design is completely renewed and the original photographs have been replaced by some more recent ones. The introductory text has also been updated. |
