You should use back spin when you shoot. The wrist movement that gives the back spin will also enable extra power and steering to your boule, all in one. I also had difficulties with this during my first years playing, but now I doubt I could shoot accurately WITHOUT back spin. Actually I think training on high lob pointing helped me a great deal with this - had to use the wrist to get that extra thrust upwards.
Back spin should not be overdone, though. It's a matter of placing the boule correctly in your hand - not yanking your hand back as hard as you can.

I've changed my shooting style over the years, having first shot by rolling along the ground, then learning to directly hit the boule, then using more of a high lob, particularly to be able to hit back boules.
However, I have noticed that my shots would often hit but skim over the target boule ( Faire une Casquette ) due to using a too high, I think lob. So now I am trying not to lob *too* high, i.e. revert to more of a direct lob.
If you watch the great shooters, they don't lob the boule that high.
Backspin? Personally I am not good enough to shoot accurately AND be able to put backspin on the boule. If you watch Marco Foyot in his Ma Méthode coaching video, he shows shots where he shoots a boule probably about 50cm to 1m behind the coche but with enough backspin so that the boule comes back onto the coche - Impressive!
This is crying out, either for some animation, or video footage of shooting (and all aspects of the game)...
