Lawn bowling requires players to roll balls toward another smaller target ball called a "jack" and the player who is closest to the jack after every ball has been bowled earns a point. The sport is played on grass or synthetic materials and typically takes place on a surface that is between 40 and 42 square yards, according to SportsVL.com. Improving your accuracy and speed rests on a combination of mental and physical processes.
Step 1
Set up a target during practice and consistently roll balls toward the target, working on accuracy.
Step 2
Release the ball lower than the hip and roll it. Releasing the ball too high can cause the ball to bounce, according to the Lawn Bowls Coaching FAQs website.
Step 3
Bend the front knee and make certain to step out far enough to have a fluid motion while rolling.
Step 4
Maintain a proper palm position when releasing the ball, making sure to keep an open palm that faces the sky.
Step 5
Study your opponents in their previous matches and use that knowledge to make intelligent shot selections.
