Description :

Approved for competition, the Mars Inox Semi-soft is distinguished by its dotted surface. Manufactured with precision using numerically controlled machines, this boule benefits from optimal balancing and impeccable sphericity.


Use :

This model of petanque boules offers great versatility, being suitable for both point and shooting.


Field Type :

Reacts well on all types of terrain and when played without spin or at half range.


Technology :

The Boulenciel brand stands out by offering the most balanced petanque boules in the world. To achieve this unrivaled level of precision, each boule benefits from an innovative manufacturing process. This process, constituting a world novelty in the field, includes turning on the exterior AND interior surface, followed by final grinding.

This unique method makes it possible to obtain a sphericity precision of the diameter of +/- 0.02 mm and a balancing precision less than or equal to 0.1% of the weight of the boule. This remarkable accuracy is made possible through the use of numerically controlled machines during manufacturing.


Finish :

Like other stainless steel boules, this set requires several games to break in and provide optimal touch. Over time and friction on the ground, the stainless steel coating will gradually become scratched. Consequently, the boules will have a little more grip in the hand than when new, which may slightly modify their feel when playing.


The set includes :

  • 3 Boulenciel Mars Inox Semi-soft petanque boules approved by FIPJP.
  • 1 jack engraved Boulenciel
  • 1 cleaning cloth
  • Warranty card
  • Delivered in its cardboard box. Dimensions : 80 x 80 x 240 mm


Manufacturer's Warranty :

2 years against any manufacturing defect.

Le Treiz Note :

During our tests of the Mars model, we were very satisfied at first. However, with wear, we have noticed that the stippling on the boule eventually becomes compressed. In addition, various elements such as dust or small pieces of gravel can lodge inside the recesses, which can affect the grip.

It is important to know that the Venus, Mercure, Saturne and Mars models are actually the same boule in terms of design and performance. The only difference lies in the design of the grooves which varies from one model to another. Whether you opt for one or the other, you'll benefit from the same gameplay and balancing qualities, while having the flexibility to choose a design that matches your aesthetic preferences.


Stainless steel (inox) maintenance

Thanks to their composition, stainless steel (inox) boules are much less prone to oxidation than carbon steel boules. They thus maintain a cleaner and shinier appearance over time, requiring only occasional maintenance.


Advice :

⭑ Do not leave your boules in the trunk of your car, it is exposed to sudden temperature variations which lead to condensation. These high humidity conditions will, in the long run, be detrimental to your boules by promoting their oxidation. So remember to take your boules out of the trunk of your car to store them indoors, dry.


We invite you to consult our Boules Maintenance page to discover our advice, tips and procedures to properly preserve your petanque boules. View page →
