The Wrest & The Wick

The Wrest
This lawn bowling shot is quite strategic and is used when a bowler wants to use more weight so that they can knock an opponent’s bowl out of position. To perform the wrest, you simply perform the same action as a basic drawing shot but put a lot more force behind it so that it bears more weight.

The Wick
The Wick is one of those shots that many would refer to as a ‘lucky shot.’ Although seeing a perfect one is rare, and they do often come by sheer luck and accident, advanced players can try to attempt it via process of visualization. This shot is thrown with the purpose of knocking it against another player’s bowl so that it can come to lie nicely close to the jack. This shot is usually best attempted on a medium-paced green.
