Bowls Jack

Primarily a Jack is a small white ball and is used as an aiming ball for players to roll their bowls up to and try and finish the closest to.

Training

To begin with it can be useful to practice your throwing of the jack. Ask a partner to stand around 5 metres away from you and bowl the jack to them. As you build up your confidence ask them to move ten metres away, and then 15 metres. Repeat this training technique until you are satisfied with your performance.
