Description :

Marketed in 2023, the COU is a carbon steel boule approved for competition. Ideal for beginners, it stands out for its great longevity thanks to a hardness greater than 140 kg/mm².

* Only available in two diameters : 72 and 74 mm.


Use :

This model of petanque boules is particularly suitable for pointers.


Field Type :

Reacts particularly well on soft fields and when played without spin (in caster).


Finish :

These carbon boules are coated with a satin anti-corrosion varnish. Over the course of use and friction on the ground, this coating becomes scratched, diminishes and eventually disappears, revealing the raw carbon. Once the coating is removed, the boules will offer more grip in the hand and on the field, thus slightly modifying their behavior in the game.


The set includes :

  • 3 Obut Boule Noire Cou Strie 0 petanque boules approved by FIPJP.
  • A jack engraved La Boule Noire.
  • La Boule Noire screen-printed protective cover made from green recycled yarns.

3 years against any manufacturing defect.

Le Treiz Note :

It all began in 1967 in Toulon, when Édouard Coulubier, a passionate player, created the famous Cou boules in carbon steel, recognizable by their black colour. These boules, which quickly became emblematic, marked the history of petanque. By purchasing the Coulubier brand, the French leader Obut was able to preserve this heritage, renaming the brand La Boule Noire.

Today, Obut is reissuing this historic model, perfectly suited to beginner competitive players. The Cou model is an excellent alternative to the Match model for those who want different streaks. These distinctive grooves will allow you to quickly identify your boules on the field.

Whether new or after some wear, some carbon boules may show a slight mark (red in some cases) at the weld seam of the shells, especially after playing in the rain or if they have remained damp without being wiped. This happens frequently, but does not affect the quality or performance of the boules.


Carbon steel maintenance

Carbon steel petanque boules require regular maintenance to slow down oxidation.


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 →
