Distance!

[thevoid]

Hi everyone - hoping you can help!

Have asked around and now giving it a go online.

Any tips for judging distance correctly, i.e. what works for you, judge by the

weight/force you roll the bowl or choosing a spot on the green to deliver at?

I would like to become more consistant but switch between the two methods

above!

Thanks

you mean how to get the weight right,:confused::)

Yes I suppose :), I think I mean what is the best way to give the right weight - does anyone focuss on point of delivery - or do you just need at a 'good eye'?

if i had the answer to that id be the world champ.not very helpfull i know,but every green is different even changing during a game ,indoor and outdoor,its down experience and playing as often as you can,

I must admit that when I learnt to Bowl, i was learnt to focus on a spot on the green and try to bowl over that at the same speed everytime. Its hard to be consistant though when you play on a variety of different greens in different weather! LOL. I suppose the only way you can be totally consistant is on your own green every home game.

I Agree here & with wrong bias, you need lots of practise and experience, you can also look out a coach as well :)

Thanks people, its all good advice, I like the idea of trying to bowl over the

same spot, might go for a few roll ups and give it a go....

Sometimes I just throw it up and see where it stops! :p

Im afraid I dont have much advice just yet, i think it is just concentration and experience.

The more i try to judge the distance, the harder it gets for me to get near the jack,I:( play better if i dont try.

[Sam]

Im just looking foreword to the summer, wishful thinking sun.

This is a great thread, the key thing 'To get the weight'!!!!

With bowlers comming from indoor to outdoor quite a chalenge.

The only thing I do is practise then a bit more no easy answer!!
