Lawn Bowl Bias.

Lawn Bowl Bias.

*****************

This section is for the aspiring and novice lawn bowler. It is all-important that when you pick up a bowl that you are aware which side of your bowl has the bias.

First, let us examine bowl (A.) You will also notice that it has more designs and a large center, which can be coloured or will have the club crest decal, or even a plain coloured sticker of your choice. This is the un-biased side.

Bowl (B.) For instance has a much smaller design and can easily be recognized, as having much less decoration. This is the important bias side of the bowl, and whether the bowl is delivered forehand or backhand it always faces the centerline of the rink.

There are times even when experienced players will not remember to check the bias before bowling, and find their bowl going out of the rink into foul territory.
