Today we will focus on that to help you choose the best one for every occasion.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The different hardnesses of p\u00e9tanque balls<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the world of p\u00e9tanque we can find various types of balls, and when it comes to throwing it, it is important to bear in mind that the hardness <strong>influences the response of the ball when hitting the ground. <\/strong>In fact, the behaviour of one ball and another can be radically different. Here are a few examples taken from the official website of the famous p\u00e9tanque ball manufacturer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.obut.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Obut<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cushioned balls<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the ideal and most efficient hardness for any expert shooter who wants maximum precision in a game of p\u00e9tanque.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are cushioned thanks to being composed of a series of high internal strength steels and a hardening process that is unique in the world. In this way, they reduce internal bounce, absorbing impacts on the hardest terrain and minimising any deflection. This also reduces ball travel, but it's always worth it for hitting the ball right on target!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stability of these balls makes them an ideal choice for<strong> experienced players with expert marksmanship<\/strong>They do not want to depend so much on other factors such as bouncing or sliding on the ground.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In addition, it is important to consider <a href=\"https:\/\/petanca.cnsportstourism.com\/en\/how-much-does-a-petanque-ball-weigh\/\">how much does a p\u00e9tanque ball weigh<\/a><\/strong>. This aspect can directly affect both the accuracy of the shot and the control the player has during the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some balls that integrate this technology into their design would be the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3KATCLb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Obut Match Plus<\/a>made of high quality, grooved stainless steel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"795\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/petanca.cnsportstourism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obut-Match-Plus.jpg\" alt=\"cushioned balls p\u00e9tanque\" class=\"wp-image-6354\" title=\"Obut Match Plus p\u00e9tanque balls\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petanca.cnsportstourism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obut-Match-Plus.jpg 795w, https:\/\/petanca.cnsportstourism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obut-Match-Plus-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/petanca.cnsportstourism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obut-Match-Plus-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/petanca.cnsportstourism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obut-Match-Plus-480x240.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3vWzb5N\" style=\"background-color:#ff6a00\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See availability on Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Softballs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the philosophy of the cushioned + balls, soft balls also reduce the bounce on hard ground and the backspin that can occur in a square.
