Bowls bias explained

When learning about the different types of lawn bowls, bowls bias is another important element to consider. If you’re new to the lawn bowls scene, you might have heard the words “bowls bias” thrown around. Essentially, lawn bowls bias means that the shape of the bowl is not perfectly round. Therefore, when a player rolls the bowl, it moves in a curved path. The bowls bias will determine how far outward the player needs to roll their bowl for it to curve correctly and reach the target.

Your most suited lawn bowls bias will ultimately come down to how and where you play. The speed of the green you intend to play on is going to have an impact on the most suitable bias. This means you should consider whether you will be playing mostly indoors or outdoors. The faster the playing surface usually means the wider a bowl will take in its trajectory.
