Bowls Equipment

Ok so you've decided that Lawn Bowling is right for you! Great! Here is a checklist of everything you will need to begin playing this fantastic sport!

Remember there is other clothing, accessories and equipment that you may wish to purchase to improve the game of lawn bowling, or just to treat yourself! However, below displays everything you will need to get you started on the right path for your new hobby!

• You will need at least one pair of Grey bowling trousers and one pair of White bowling trousers in this game.

• A white top. Most lawn bowls players prefer to wear a white polo shirt.

• Bowling Shoes - these must be proper lawn bowling shoes that are flat on the soles to ensure that the green is not damaged during games.

• A warm white jumper or body warmer, particularly if you live in the United Kingdom! You may find that you are playing matches in all kinds of weather.

• A grey breathable waterproof garment. Again, most recommended if you are living in the U.K!

• A bowls bag. These come in a range of sizes and colours. Pick one that suits your needs best. Taylor bowls have a fantastic range of bowls bags that can cater to your lawn bowling needs.

• Lawn Bowls. Make sure you pick the correct size. Most retailers will be able to assist you in purchasing the correct lawn bowl, and if in doubt always go a size too small! Never choose a bowl that is too heavy for you and that you are not comfortable with. Lawn Bowls come in a range of colours and you can find some fantastic lawn bowls that really do stand out!

• A measure. There will be times when playing bowls that you cannot identify which bowl is closer to the jack. At times like this you will need a measure as this could be the deciding factor of who has won the game.

• Chalk. This is used for marking bowls.

• Jack. A jack is recommended to keep in your bag if you wish to practice lawn bowls alone or with a friend. Most of the bowling clubs should provide these but just incase, always come prepared!
