Pointing. When is the jack not the target?

  The game of petanque revolves around who is closest to the jack, so it is a bold step to question, “Is the jack the target all the time?”

We will try to look 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.

Part 4 .    Pointing on to a boule. Very similar to the last tip but is an attacking defensive shot. The opposition have pointed a boule just wide of the jack but more importantly just passed the jack. The target is to rest on the opposition boule to be in an on position. Jack is relevant but not the target. Shown clearly in the photo.
