Boule Sizes

While there are methods for measuring boules to the hand:

I think the best method is to use other player's boules and see which seems most comfortable in your hand.

There are some who want to use 80mm boules (for shooting) or 71mm boules (for pointing) - but unless you try out those sizes in boules - you may purchase something quite uncomfortable to use.

I'd say that if you have small hands, go for 73mm and if you have larger hands 75mm... they're more common sizes anyhow.
