After digging around last night, Perfetta seems to be the one to get. Pricey, but sounds like they'll last: https://www.playaboule.com/Perfetta_Club_Pro_Speckled_bocce_Set.aspx This is for my wife's birthday and it's coming up soon. Will decide shortly. That's exactly the one they used to sell at target. Not a bad price at all. I might get one, drink in hand optional.... NOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're training for the Bocce Olympics fine. Otherwise who cares? It's more about the company than the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 We normally loft the ball with backspin and try to get close but again, who cares. Lots of things can be fun under less than ideal circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbphoto Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 So many opportunities for sophomoric male humor in this thread, but I have a reputation to maintain. I just came back from a vacation in France and we played a lot of "Petanque" which is what they call Bocci ball over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
