Lawn bowls is a game of precision and skill that requires a special connection between you and your equipment. Whether you’re a seasoned bowler or just starting out, maintaining your lawn bowls is crucial for both their longevity and your optimal performance on the greens. In this blog, we’ll dive into some practical tips to help you keep your bowls in top condition.

Regular Cleaning
Just like any other sports equipment, lawn bowls need regular cleaning. After each game, take a moment to wipe down your bowls with a damp cloth. This removes dirt, debris and moisture that can accumulate during play. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the surface of the bowl. A simple wipe down can go a long way in preserving the finish and performance of your bowls.

Avoid extreme temperatures
Lawn bowls are made from a composite material that can expand and contract with temperature changes. Avoid leaving your bowls in extreme heat or cold for prolonged periods. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Sudden temperature shifts can affect the shape and balance of the bowls, ultimately impacting your game.

Inspect for cracks and chips
Regularly inspect your bowls for cracks, chips or other damage. Even a small imperfection can alter the way your bowl rolls on the green. If you notice any damage, consult a professional for repair or replacement. Ignoring these issues can lead to more significant problems down the line.

Maintain the grips
The grips on your bowls are essential for your control and accuracy. Over time, these grips can wear down due to use and exposure to the elements. Consider using grip wax or grip enhancers to keep the grips in top condition. Some bowlers also prefer using grip sleeves to protect the grips from excessive wear.

Polish the surface
Maintaining the smooth surface of your lawn bowls is crucial for optimal performance. Gently polish the surface with a soft cloth and a specialised bowl polish. This not only keeps the bowls looking shiny but also helps reduce friction and improve their trajectory on the green.

Proper storage
When not in use, store your bowls in a padded bowl bag or case. This protects them from accidental impacts and exposure to dust and moisture. Many bowlers also use bowls carriers with individual compartments to prevent the bowls from knocking against each other during transport.
