Method One – Roll the bowl a short length and as close to the centre line as possible. Then increase the length of every bowl after. If a bowl fails to pass the previous one, repeat that particular bowl. Once you have completed the game, start bowling in the opposite direction. This time, roll the first bowl a long length, and decrease the length of every bowl after.
Method Two – Place two discs (or CD’s if you still have any!) either 6 or 8 meters apart. Roll the first bowl just past the disc closest to you. Play the last three bowls, making sure each one rolls further than the previous. The aim of this drill is to finish with all four bowls between the two discs. Again, if a bowl fails to pass the previous one, repeat the
bowl. And with the Jack Take a basket of jacks. Put a ditch marker on the edge of your rink at minimum length. Bowl the first Jack to just past the minimum length, as close to the centre line as you can.
Roll each jack a little further than the last one. How many jacks can you roll before you reach the
T? Establish a PB for jack length control. Beat it next time!
