I am new to petanque and I just watched the video of the finals 2006. Why squat when throwing the boule. It seemed that the players would throw from a squating position when pointing and stand when shooting. Not all players do this. Why squat at all?
After 28 years of squatting while working on Xerox duplicators, I can tell you that squating is bad for the knees.
