If that team succeeds in getting their boule closer than all of its opponents boules, then the opposing team now has to attempt to throw a boule closer.The larger balls in bocce affect the style of throw compared to pétanque. There is more of a focus on rolling the ball in bocce so the palm is positioned up when the ball is thrown. The player also takes a few steps forward before releasing the ball. A volo shot is the way of hitting an opponent's ball that is very close to the pallino by throwing through the air and hitting directly the opponent's boule (or the pallino), with the restriction that the ball may first strike the ground within 50cm of the target.

Pétanque is played by two teams, each comprising one, two, or three players. In the singles and doubles games, each player plays with three metal boules. In triples, each player uses only two.Scarborough is a bustling town on the North Sea Coast with plenty of attractions to keep visitors busy. Most importantly, the bar. I was delighted to spot several local brews from Adnams (Broadside, Ghostship, Spindrift), Aspall cider and St Peter’s. I can’t vouch for all of them, but the Ghostship and the Broadside were excellent. One slight problem with the bar was the rather odd aroma, which was either the toilets or disinfectant from a rather overenthusiastic cleaner. In the mid-19th century, techniques were developed for the mass production of iron nails. Following this technological improvement, boxwood balls studded with nails (boules cloutées) were introduced in an effort to improve the durability of the balls. This eventually led to the development of balls that were completely covered in nails, creating a ball that appeared almost to be made of metal. In pétanque, players throw while standing in a circle ( cercle). Traditionally, this was simply scratched in the dirt. From around 2005, red plastic "prefabricated" circles were introduced and are now widely used in formal games. A circle drawn on the ground must be 35–50cm (14–20in) in diameter, while a plastic circle must have an inside diameter of 50cm (20in). By the 1920s, the growing popularity of boules in France created a demand that could not be satisfied using the available supplies of natural boxwood root, which were beginning to disappear. Paul Courtieu and Vincent Miles had the idea of manufacturing a ball made entirely of metal. Avoiding steel-based alloys (which were too hard and rust-prone) they developed an alloy based on aluminum and bronze, and (in 1923) patented a metal ball made of two welded-together hemispheres. A year later, in 1924, they filed a patent for a ball that was cast in a single piece -- La Boule intégrale. Louis Tarchier and Jean Blanc are generally credited with developing, around 1925, the process by which virtually all metal boules are manufactured today—steel blanks are pressed into hollow hemispheres which are then soldered together and machined to make a hollow steel boule.
