Hi! So I have some time default petanque club played and just love it "to schupfen balls"! :-) The set is really high and plays accordingly very good. So everywhere with one exception can practice very well and does not have to commute to a petanque court. The exception for me would be an apartment with parquet floors and a resident who lives below. The balls are indeed soft and damage the floor not but they are also relatively heavy and therefore the impact (if you want to put up) pretty loud! So recommended to this small restriction very!
