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.
