Boccia set with soft bag

Characteristics

The choice of balls is decisive in the course of the matches and defined by the goals to be achieved:

• Clear an opposing ball.
• Roll a ball to the back of the field.
• Position a strategic ball that is difficult to move.
• Use fine or adapted ball texture for optimal throw.
• …

There are as many possibilities as there are game situations.
That’s why we present the outline to choose the best of your balls… to refine with your own experiences on the field of course !

HARDNESS
The main feature of a Boccia ball is its density.
The harder a ball is, the more its power is preserved. Enough to clear an opposing ball or roll to the end of the field.
The softer a ball is, the less it rolls, making it harder for the opponent to remove a well placed ball.

MATERIAL
Another important characteristic after hardness is material. Where the thickness and the grain of the leather bring more or less fine sensations to the player, a velvet material brings a formidable grip to the ball.  A smoother surface allows an extremely regular ball trajectory, perfect for games with ramp or foot.

COLOR
Finally come the colors!
Boccia’s balls are imperatively Blue, Red and White for Jack. Some of them are darker than others but it does not affect the game and it even allows you to spot your balls faster during matches.
