What Equipment Do You Need for Lawn Bowls?

Posted by Sam Mead on

From Shoes to Bowls Accessories

Are you just getting started with lawn bowling? Then you have so much to look forward to! Not only is it one of the most accessible sports out there, but the community is so welcoming to new players. We are keen bowlers ourselves, and there is nothing we love more than to help newcomers to the sport get all the equipment that they need. From bowls accessories to sets of lawn bowls themselves, here is what you require to play well and become the best possible player you can be!

Bowls

Let’s get started with the most essential piece of equipment: the bowls themselves. Knowing what bowls to buy can be pretty daunting, so we recommend trying some out first. This can be at your local club, many of which provide players with bowls during their first few sessions. If you have friends who play, ask to give theirs a try. We stock bowls from some of the biggest brands in the game and also have the option of pre-loved bowls for those shopping with a tighter budget.

Shoes

Shoes are the next most important piece of lawn bowls kit. It might be tempting to just wear your normal everyday trainers, but you really do need specialist bowls shoes if you are going to play comfortably and in line with your club’s rules. Bowls shoes are totally flat-soled with no heel, and this protects the delicate surface of the green. Again, we stock a wide range here at Jack and Bowl, with plenty of choice for male and female players alike.

Bag

Getting your bowls from A to B isn't just a matter of chucking them in a bag without a care in the world. You will want to protect their surface as much as possible. That’s where bowls bags come in. We stock everything from small duo and trio bowls bags to large trolley cases. There’s no right or wrong kind to go for, think about how you get to and from your bowls club and how carrying a bag is most comfortable for you.

Accessories

Last but not least, come bowls accessories! This is a really wide-ranging category, and you may not need to pick all of these up right away. We have grips, polishes, towels and sleeves to help you keep your bowls in great condition. We also have handy accessories like scorecard holders and chalk, so you can keep track of how your game is going. If you have mobility concerns, then things like a walking stick protector and a bowls lifter may be just what you need to make playing a little easier.
