In this episode, we dive into the invisible mechanics that separate casual tossers from true pétanque technicians. Listeners will discover why the instinctive “claw grip” is actually the enemy of accuracy, how the thumb becomes a “forbidden” source of disastrous side-spin, and why trusting centrifugal force—not squeezing—is the key to control. Through vivid analogies and practical corrections, this segment reveals how mastering a deceptively simple grip can transform every throw into one that flies true, lands clean, and behaves exactly as intended.
