They Are On The Way

[E T]

They're on the way,what do you folks think,
Or is this out of this world, Know what i think, can just about see the Jack now.



The votes are inWednesday 4 June 2008World Bowls’ recent decision to ratify the use of white bowls continues to divide the Australian playing public.

During a month long poll on the Bowls Australia website, almost 60 per cent of respondents said they would not use the new colour, while just over 40 per cent gave it the thumbs up after almost 500 votes were submitted.

In a changing of the guard, Taylor Bowls’ first shipment of the white variety will hit Australian shelves in the coming weeks, with managing director Grant Heron confirming that demand has been through the roof.

“We have been inundated with requests for them from all over the world, and white bowls are most definitely in our plans for the future,” Mr Heron said.

“However because of demands on our current colours our production is currently stretched to full capacity.

With white bowls now a reality, the game’s governing body insists it would prefer competitors to use coloured rings when playing with them.

:confused: Why don't they just make them with coloured rings:p

I wonder if it will make it hard to see the Jack if there's a white bowl next to it?

Anyway I won't be buying white bowls, my favourite colour is red:grin:

This is another fad to get us to part with more money, can see everyone sicking colored rings round, madness, bad enough now changing stickers, no i shall be sticking to my old black woods,:(

its a novelty which will wear off when the bowl discolours with age and use and when small chips in the bowl gets filled with dirt yeuch ,:)

Think the Bowling World has gone a bit mad, who would want to be bowling with woods that you had to spend time putting colored rings round, that were the same color as the jack, we are :( can i say elderly bowling generation, with eyesight which is failing, do we need anything which makes our sport more difficult.:(

[Bigbear]

White Woods, Wrong Bias, is right what will they look like after a season,

When the take a few whacks, and someone fires at them, sending them into the ditch,

Will look on with interest, to see if any of my team mates get any, Know i shan't.:D

Cant see these woods taking off, too much trouble, putting colored rings round, know we have yellow jacks, but our club has white jacks as well, think they would make bowling a lot more confusing,:(

[Surfer]

White Woods, someone is having a laugh,

Play with a chap who has bright yellow woods, he plays lead and is brilliant, cant get my head around white, and having to put colored rings round, don't think they will catch on in England, with white jacks its:cool: stupid, Surfer

[Blondie]

Its hard getting used to playing against people with coloured woods,
Measuring is very difficult, and hard to judge, dont think i could get my head round White Woods, Who came up with this, think they want us to spend more, going to stick with the wood i have.:(:(

[Sam]

:DLove the picture,
Think the speckled woods look good, but what are they going to come up with next, Striped woods, anything to get us to buy new woods, yes I'm afraid I'm one of them, got tempted and now play with blue woods, but dark ones put too many short ones up, if they were bright yellow everyone would know what a rubbish game i had,:DSam

[Jane]

Like the speckled woods, not sure if i would buy them, an awful lot of bowlers are getting these colored woods, played against a team their skip had bright pink woods, first time i have seen this color, she was deadly, straight up the middle whack, every time, know what happened lost again. :(
