About Bowls...
Historically, bowls were made of very heavy Lignum Vitae wood and are commonly called ‘woods’ by players. Bowls can also be made of composite plastic resin or rubber. They come in various sizes and weights to suit the bowler. Bowls include a bias to one side which creates the swing a bowl takes en route to the jack.
The jack is a white or yellow sphere measuring 63-67mm in diameter. It’s what we’re all aiming for!
