Bowls Practice

40-Bowl Accuracy Test

AIM To measure performance so improvement can be measured. Any weakness can be noted and worked on.

After a few warm up ends, proceed by delivering all four bowls.

On ends 1 to 5: first two bowls are forehands and the last two bowls are backhands.

On ends 6 to 10: first two bowls are backhands and the last two bowls are forehands.

This sequence enables valid comparison between forehand and backhand accuracy.

While one bowler is at the mat delivering four bowls, the other bowler measures, records results and kicks measured bowls clear. (Average error 3-5m novice to 0.5m national)
