Law 38.5
Displacement of a jack in motion, at rest in the ditch or at rest on the rink by a non-toucher rebounding from the bank, or moving the jack in the ditch; an opponent must put the jack back in its original position. If they cannot agree on the final position of the jack, the end must be declared dead and replayed.
Bowlers are advised that all types of grippo have been banned for use on bowls. This decision was made due to dust adhering to the product, making bowls harder to clean and causing marks on the green.
Thought of the week: Why do bowlers seem to concentrate more when playing singles than other competitive games.
“For everybody out there in bowls world, make sure you enjoy 2025 and I hope we draw a few more shots than last year.
“Life should be fun, let’s make it happen!”
This Week’s Tip
The Flicker
A flick of the wrist during delivery can lead to inconsistent length and cause the bowl to veer off course, similar to a pull or hook shot in golf. To fix this, return to the correct delivery process and focus on following through while staying down along the delivery line.
The Bent-Arm Player
Bending the arm at the end of the back-swing forces a pushing action instead of a smooth swing. To correct this, start by holding the bowl out in front of your body. Ensure your feet on the mat are parallel to the aiming line. Use a small back-swing and deliver the bowl along the aiming line, staying down and following through with your arm as straight as possible. Practice this and your consistency will improve.
