MS Pétanque STRX Soft striated stainless steel petanque boule

Who are MS STRX competition boules designed for?

The MS STRX is a competition-grade pétanque boule designed for players who value excellent ground grip and superior shock absorption when shooting. Thanks to its pronounced grooves, this triplette is especially suited to pointers seeking maximum precision on all types of terrain. However, it also appeals to versatile players — especially those who train or compete on irregular surfaces.

Whether you are a licensed FFPJP competitor, a seasoned pétanque enthusiast, or a recreational player looking for a reliable, high-performance boule, the MS STRX offers an ideal balance of feel, durability, and control.

Why choose the MS STRX stainless steel boules?

The MS STRX is distinguished by its striated surface, designed to enhance trajectory control and improve pointing accuracy. These grooves allow the ball to grip the terrain more effectively, giving players a tactical advantage when placing their boules in tight spots or near the jack.

Its soft hardness rating (115 kg/mm²) provides excellent shock absorption, which is especially useful for shooting — particularly when aiming to "carreau" (strike and stop) the opponent's boule. The satin finish not only gives it a refined look, but also provides a pleasant feel in the hand, ideal for long playing sessions.

Made from chrome-nickel stainless steel, this model is oxidation-resistant and well-suited for both competition and intensive practice sessions.

Maintenance tips for MS STRX boules

Thanks to their stainless steel construction, the MS STRX boules are rust-resistant, even in humid or wet playing conditions. However, to keep them in optimal playing shape:

• Wipe your boules down with a soft, dry cloth after each session
• Clean the grooves occasionally to remove embedded dirt or dust
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or oils 
• Store in a dry, ventilated place, away from extreme temperatures

Maintaining your boules regularly will help preserve their satin finish, ensure optimal grip, and prolong the lifespan of your triplette.
