New White Bowles

[Jean]

Have been hearing a lot about these new White Bowls that are coming out, does anyone know which make they are, haven't met anyone who has them, might consider ordering some, need a bit more information :rolleyes:

Keep getting white china bowls coming up on Goggle got enough in the kitchen Getting frustrated

[Lardy]

Hi Jean
Remember reading about white woods somewhere, think it was an Australian site they were having a vote or something, had a look on Google must admit I couldn't find the make, did look at a lot of white china bowls, will let you know if I find anything LARDY:D

[mary]

Sure we discussed these new white bowls before but for the life of me cant find them on the forum, sorry will keep looking
Haven't heard of anyone playing with any yet, seen every other color from bright pink to bright yellow couldn't be any worse, :rolleyes:

[Blondie]

Yes I think this has come up before, remember something about they wanted players to put colored rings round white woods, had a look on google gets so frustrating you get ever thing expect what you want, end up having a cup of tea and giving up:(

[Sam]

Hi Blondie glad someone feels the same, spend ages get so many adverts
some sites are impossible to get into feels like they are all trying to sell you something Sam:D

[E T]

Haven't seen these yet!!!! thought the yellow Bowls were stand out enough but white!! Great for dark nights!!!! Not sure if I would like these have to wait and see!!!!!:D

[wrong bias]

as i said before,no use with a white jack,and just think when they get dirty and scratched and aged,they would look awful,maybe ok for indoor ,:confused:

[Sam]

I cant get my head around these new white bowls thing, be interesting if they take off in England apparently they have sold out in Australia
Not sure if its a advertising ploy to get us to buy them, bringing new things out just to get us to spend more cash, I'm hanging on to mine:D

[Oldie]

Whatever next!!! agree with Wrong Bias if the jack is White (which I prefer, don't like the yellow ones) it is going to be just a mass of WHITE, especially with my eyesight!!!!

Give me a sunny day big swings an a rink full of Lignans.

Today rinks a full of Straight woods taking a lot of skill out of our lovely game!!!!!

[pops]

Who thought of this daft idea, agree with you Oldie can just about see the Jack now, and thats saying something what ever will they think up next :rolleyes:

[firer]

If I was trying to fire wouldn't be able to see the difference between the wood and the jack, think the next move would be to have colored jacks red blue etc:(

Thats Great Kiwi Bowler have been wondering what they were going to look like
Cant say I'm over enthusiastic if everyone was playing with them would be one hell of a mess cant tell one wood from the other or the jack
Thanks:D:D

[Angel]

If everyone played with white woods think they would have to consider changing the color of the jack don't know where it would end
Sure they would like us to spend more cash Angel:D

[Lardy]

love the picture give you more of an idea what they are going to be like
I'm sure we will see someone playing with these white bowls next year
Should be a few interesting comments :D

[pops]

Brilliant Picture Kiwi Bowler now I know for sure that I wouldn't be able to see the jack
Would dread playing against someone using these new White Woods
Cant see them catching on but bound to get some Pratt with no brain buying them:(:(

[kiwi bowler]

I think if one was bowling against someone with white bowls, then we would have to use a yellow jack. All I might find myself drawing to their bowl rather than the jack:confused:

[Sam]

I have trouble drawing to anything white or yellow jack, if there were anything larger I would be aiming for that instead:D

That's an idea - they should make the Jack larger, so we can see it when it's hiding behind a bowl:grin:

[peter]

Brilliant Idea Kiwi Bowler they should make the jack twice the size we would be able to see it
Might even be able to hit it haven't managed to do it very often:D

[Bigbear]

Larger Jacks never thought of that, it would solve all my problems do you think we would get it passed by World Bowls:roll:

[wrong bias]

[Angel]

Think I will join the club,Wrong Bias couldn't fire to save my life
It looks so easy until you try and then I watch as my wood sails by and goes into the ditch Missed again Angel:roll:

You know I have more luck when driving on a grass green than an artificial green:confused:

[snapper]

Its nearly impossible to fire on artificial greens, seen our men loose so many times once they start they cant seen to stop think its a man thing

[kiwi bowler]

But getting back to whites bowls, still not seen any over here.

[kiwi bowler]

Hi Snapper, I don't thing there would be anyone on the bowling greens if you looked like that:grin:

[E T]

Hi Snapper,

The photo reminds me of our selection committee when they see the 'White Bowls' on the green!!!!!!!! Not a pretty site!

Of course like any selection committee they can't get it right, pick self friends etc!!!!!!:cool:

P S Only joking selection committee????

[Angel]

Hi E T

Starting to see a little of that at my club, got a new committee who have favoured some of thier mates, but with bad results. They lost, so we don't think they will do it again.:wink:

[Bundyboy]

There is a survey going around our league to see how many black bowls are being used. Not many, The white bowls are still being tried, played against a state player who used a white set of Dreamline. Have also seen white with speckles, Green with yellow speckles and granite bowls which have black, grey and white speckles. All the manufacturers are bringing them out.

[Surfer]

Hi Bundyboy great to have someone from Australia on the Forum, We can only bowl outdoors in the Summer and indoors in winter, so far we haven't seen anyone playing with these New White Bowls, they are causing quite a lot of debate a number of Older players struggle with white shoes near the jack and I am sure there will be a lot of complaints
We have yellow jacks but also white jacks we are all waiting to see what they are like Surfer:cool:

[Angel]

We have a lot of Colored bowls in my Club but still some black
One chap has a bright yellow bowl and he leads and is a fantastic Bowler who plays in the A team
But got a few that play with bright colored woods cant half see them when they are short
Mine are dark blue I am a bit of a coward they sort of blend in so no one notices when I play badly

[snapper]

HI Bundyboy


Really looking forward to seeing these New White Bowls whoever is using them will cause quite a stir
I play indoors at Newquy and we are right in the middle of our indoor season and all the County and National Competitions
Can get equally as busy as outdoors but I think it gives you an edge when you start the summer Season:D

[kiwi bowler]

I still haven't seem any white bowls in Auckland.

I would also say there is more bowlers here bowling with black bowls than coloured ones.

[Bundyboy]

We have white and yellow jacks. The yellow jacks have been specifically made for our fast synthetic greens. The are heavier than the white jacks and so tend to stop a little quicker.

They have different jacks that are used on the outdoor artificial greens we played away one day,
And got caught in a Thunderstorm not sure if its true or not but when the lighting started we had one Lady who refused to stand anywhere near the Jack she said it contained metal and was dangerous
She spent most of the time hiding in the equipment shed Sure she had the right idea she stayed a lot drier than us
Think the jacks are heavier so they don't keep running off the ends :rolleyes:

[Smiler]

Yes they do definitely have heavier jacks for artificial greens wish they would make the ones I have had to throw up a lot heavier might be able

to keep them on the green:rolleyes:

[firer]

Wish I could have some metal weights in my woods instead of the jack would stop them crashing off the end of the rink epically indoor
