Obut RCC Boules

📝 Summary

• Exclusive Obut Technology: New carbon alloy steel + perfected treatment process, manufactured in Saint-Bonnet-le-Château, France.

The RCC is made of carbon steel and is subject to rapid oxidation — which is appreciated by players looking for a strong grip. Plan to oil it after each game and at least once a month if not in use. Obut maintenance product recommended.

🏆 Pétanque Sportif's Opinion

"The RCC is the boule for players who want to dominate difficult terrains. Surprising at first, it reveals its full potential after an adaptation period: a velvety grip, astonishing shock absorption, and almost no recoil on a full-iron shot. At Pétanque Sportif, we recommend it to competitors who often play on hard ground and want a boule that makes a difference both with high lobs and shooting."
