MS Steel Carbon pétanque ball

Who is the MS Acier pétanque boule for?

The MS Acier is specially designed for shooters looking for precision and performance in tire au fer. Thanks to its soft hardness and smooth finish, this carbon steel boule helps achieve clean carreaux on the spot. Its quick grip makes it ideal for shooters of all levels, including intermediates. While it’s primarily a shooting boule, it may also suit some pointers who prefer slightly rolling boules.

Why choose the MS Acier triplette?

The MS Acier stands out with a unique manufacturing process. Its internal surface is stamped, allowing it to absorb shock energy effectively. This reduces bounce and improves accuracy on impact—especially noticeable on hard terrains or in front shooting situations.

Despite its softness, the boule offers surprising durability. Made from high-quality carbon alloy steel and calibrated at 120 kg/mm², it delivers long-lasting performance. Its excellent balance ensures stable trajectories and effective pickup, making it a top performer for clean and dry shots—with a satisfying sound on impact.

Aesthetically, the boule features a sleek grey finish with precise engravings. Even shooters used to other brands will appreciate its grip. It might feel slightly slick when new, but gains adherence quickly after a few games. Its value for money makes it a strong alternative to premium soft boules.

Maintenance Tips:

As with all carbon steel boules, the MS Acier requires regular care. Carbon steel is sensitive to moisture and may oxidize if poorly stored. After each pétanque game, wipe the boules with a dry cloth, then apply a thin coat of oil (vaseline or special boule spray) to protect them.
