TAYLOR KNOWLEDGE CENTRE

How To Choose Lawn Bowls

The complete beginner-friendly guide to finding the best lawn bowls for your game.

What Makes One Lawn Bowl Different From Another?

Choosing the right lawn bowls can feel overwhelming when you’re starting out. With different sizes, models, draw lines and playing styles to consider, it’s easy to wonder: what are the best lawn bowls for me?

Every lawn bowl is designed to follow a curved path known as a draw. While all approved bowls meet strict standards, different models suit different players, greens and styles of play.

Quick answer: the best lawn bowl is not always the most popular one — it’s the one that feels comfortable, suits your greens and gives you confidence every delivery.

Start With Your Playing Style

Wider Draw

Great for players who like shaping the bowl around traffic and playing with a stronger finishing line.

Controlled Draw

Ideal for bowlers who prefer a straighter line, consistency and confidence on faster greens.

Choosing The Correct Bowl Size

A bowl should feel secure in your hand without forcing you to grip tightly. If it feels too large, your release may suffer. If it feels too small, consistency can become harder.

  • Smaller hands often suit Size 0000–2
  • Medium hands often suit Size 2–4
  • Larger hands often suit Size 4–5

Hand size is only a guide. The best choice is the bowl that feels natural, relaxed and repeatable in your delivery.

Consider The Greens You Play On

Green speed plays a huge role in choosing lawn bowls. Faster greens often reward controlled drawing bowls, while slower greens may suit players who prefer a stronger visible finish.

If you play at multiple clubs or in mixed conditions, choose a versatile bowl that performs confidently across a range of surfaces.

Should Beginners Buy Entry-Level Or Premium Bowls?

Our advice is simple: buy the best bowl you can comfortably afford. Quality bowls usually provide better consistency, longer lifespan, stronger resale value and performance that grows with your game.

Common Mistakes When Choosing Lawn Bowls

Copying another player

What works for someone else may not suit your hand, delivery or green conditions.

Choosing by colour only

Colour matters, but comfort, size and performance should always come first.

Buying the wrong size

A relaxed, comfortable grip is more important than choosing the largest bowl you can hold.

Overthinking it

A quality bowl from a trusted brand will serve most players well for years.
