Who is the Boulenciel Vartan 16 Grooves Left-Handed Petanque Boule For?

The Boulenciel Vartan 16 Grooves Left-Handed is a semi-soft, ultra-versatile competition boule. It suits all player profiles, whether you're a pointer, shooter, or middle player. However, as the name suggests, this triple set is specifically designed for left-handed players.

Key Benefits of the Boulenciel Vartan 16 Grooves Left-Handed

The Vartan model—also known as the SX version—was born from the collaboration between Boulenciel and engineer Vartan Berberian. It stands out with a distinctive design and reverse-direction grooves, meaning the striations run counterclockwise, unlike most boules.

This unique feature offers a more natural grip for left-handed players, especially shooters and pointers. It also allows players to apply more spin and effect to each throw. Additionally, the original groove pattern makes it easier to identify your boule on the terrain.

Made from stainless steel and semi-soft (120 kg/mm²), this boule delivers exceptional balance and optimal precision and control, whether you're shooting or pointing. That’s no surprise: Boulenciel boules are known as the most balanced in the world.

The Vartan Left-Handed model also benefits from Boulenciel’s signature manufacturing process, which includes dual machining (inside and out) and a final surface grinding for ultimate performance.
