Pointing near the jack in petanque tip 5

We are looking at times when the jack is not the target. Most of these have been covered in previous tips but we thought we would get all the occasions together that the jack is not the target hoping you will be amazed how many times this is the case. Here we enter into mind games, well it is petanque after all. It is the opening gambit of a twelve boule thriller!

C.    You are playing against a very good shooter and a moderate pointer. You do not want to point close to the jack as the shooter may carreau the boule in a great position. Just play a tricky point that will lure the pointer to try to out point the boule. Your boule has to be a lure point. Not close enough to get the shooter moving to the circle but looks like it can be out pointed easily. So you are pointing to an area near the jack. Jack is relevant but not the target.
