MS Pétanque STRA Striated steel soft carbon petanque boules

Who are MS STRA striated carbon steel pétanque boules designed for?

The MS STRA is a competition-grade pétanque boule made for players who demand precision, responsiveness and control. Its striated design and satin black carbon steel finish make it especially appealing to experienced shooters and accurate pointers. Whether you’re a licensed FFPJP player, a seasoned club member, or a dedicated pétanque enthusiast, the STRA offers you the grip and consistency needed to perform in all conditions.

This soft pétanque boule (115 kg/mm²) is ideal for those seeking maximum absorption on impact, excellent control of the trajectory, and a reduced rebound — all features that help raise your game during competitions or intense training sessions.

Why choose the MS STRA triplette?

What sets the MS STRA apart is its combination of grip, style and performance. The ribbed surface enhances the player’s grip on the ball, improving accuracy whether you’re pointing or shooting. This striation also helps on uneven terrain by improving ball control during release and roll.

Crafted from carbon alloy steel, this boule delivers superior responsiveness, especially in shooting situations. The satin black finish not only adds a sleek, modern touch, but also makes it easier to spot your boule in dusty or shaded conditions. Its carefully calibrated balance ensures predictable behavior and optimal performance on any surface.

Whether you're hitting a boule full-on or aiming for a rolling point, the MS STRA adapts to your playstyle and offers the reliability of a true competition boule.

How to maintain your MS STRA boules

Since the MS STRA is made from carbon steel, it needs regular care to avoid rust:

• After each pétanque game, clean your boules with a soft dry cloth.
• Once a month, wash the boules in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Apply a light coat of Vaseline, gun oil or specialized boule maintenance oil to protect the surface.
• Store your boules in a dry, cool place, preferably in a dedicated bag or case.

With proper maintenance, your MS STRA pétanque balls will stay in excellent condition and continue to deliver top-tier performance on the court.
