Brand new boule are exactly that. Shiny and new! The manufacturing process by Obut to produce world class boule gives the new boule a stunning finish and look. Playing on stone and gravel surfaces will wear this pristine finish slowly but surely. Many players love the worn finish this wear gives to boule. It provides a superb grip and a familiar feel when throwing the boule. This patina can take months to achieve but once you have it, the boule become reliable friends on the piste. The popular black coating on the Ton’R, CX Cou, Match+ and the Match Noir wears off during the first few months of play. The amount of wear depends on your piste surface and throwing technique. Some pistes do cause damage to boule if there are rough hard layers below the top surface. Any burrs thrown up by these pistes can be reduced by knocking your boule together at the point of the burr. Gently tapping the raised metal back in towards the boule will do the job.
