Petanque is a popular French game. Like any other game, you’ll see a set of rules for this game too. Typically, the game requires you to throw a set of balls while standing inside a circle. But there is a specific technique to throw the ball too. You need to swing your arm and hand forward while clenching the ball in your hand. While doing this, your left arm must stay more or less up and behind you. Once, you are in this position; you release the ball, snap your curled wrist upward and open your fingers to let the ball fly.
