Obut
Obut has made boules in Saint-Bonnet-le-Chateau since 1955 and turns out more competition petanque boules than any other maker. The catalogue runs from tri color leisure sets meant for the garden to FIPJP approved carbon and stainless competition boules sold in threes, with diameter and weight tuned to the player. Free engraving on the competition lines and a house museum say a lot about how seriously the brand takes the game.
It suits anyone who plans to keep playing, from a first serious set to a licensed club thrower choosing hardness and striations on purpose. Casual buyers who just want a cheap kit for the beach may find the sizing choices and the price of the top boules more than they bargained for.
