Bowls tips and thoughts from other FB pages.
So what are the strengths of the great number two players?
1 Drawing to the jack when the lead has failed
2 Adding more shots, building on what the lead has contributed
3 Tucking bowls in just behind the jack to reinforce the head and anticipate movement of the jack
4 Playing subtle trail shots to move the jack ‘round the corner’, making it harder for the opponent
5 Opening up the head with heavily weighted shots to destroy the head-building of the opposition
6 Bonding with the lead as a front end partnership, motivating, empathising and supporting
7 Encouraging the third and skip, calling their bowls on and contributing to shot discussion when needed.
Congratulations to Captain Debbie and the team on the win over Northfleet Bowls Club yesterday!
