Lawn Bowls variations

The video is an example of a fantastic shot played on an indoor (portable) rink.

The shot was made by Nick Brett, one of the top players in the UK.  It was at the Potters Resort, Norfolk during the yearly WBA 20 day tournament, January 2021.

the 3 bowls with the white dot indicates that they touched the jack before coming to rest.

How Does It Work?

As the diagram shows, the bowls (called woods in the UK) do not run in a straight line.  So, to get to the “jack” (the little white dot) the bowl must have two elements.
1. The correct line.  ie the aiming point and delivery the bowler chose is correct.
2. The correct weight.  ie the bowler has used the required force. 

Put those two together consistently and you’ll soon be facing off against Nick Brett!

 
Lawn Bowls is closer to curling than it is to 5 or 10 pin bowling.
