Bowl Delivery
Ensuring the correct bowl delivery will enable you to maximise all shots.
Learning how to correctly grip the bowl, identify your delivery line and correctly release the bowl is vital for effective bowling.
Aiming Points
To secure accurate shots on the jack, you need to effectively identify your aiming points.
​
Picking a point down the other end of the green will help your aim and accuracy.
​

Common Faults
Occasionally mistakes can creep into your delivery action; for instance wobbling bowls, bounce on delivery or overstepping.
​
Your bowls coach will be able to help you identify and correct these common faults.
