The equipment needed in this game are psted as follows along with a brief description for each one of them for better understanding of its usage.

The Bowls or Balls

Lawn Bowpng is played in sets and there are four balls in each set. Each set is not only unique but also has its own special symbol which is etched in the center circle on both sides. In lawn bowpng, the game is played with four balls. We can either call it as balls or bowls.

In Lawn Bowpng, the bowls are biased and these are not perfectly round bowls. So, when a player rolls the bowl, it moves in a path which is curved in nature. It means it curves when we roll the ball. So this forces the player to roll his bowl in an outward direction with an angle to reach the target.

Lawn Bowpng is much pke alley bowpng where the players or the bowlers roll the ball towards a target or a goal. In lawn bowpng, the target is a small white ball, whose size is pke a bilpard ball and is known as ‘jack’. The points are awarded to the player who can locate his ball as near as the jack. This is the main aim of the game as to roll the bowl and get as close to the jack as possible.

The Jack

Then each player will roll the ball on the field and will try to place the ball as close to the jack as possible. The lawn bowls are biased but the jack is unbiased. The person who begins the game will roll the jack on the field in a straight pne, unpke the bowpng balls the jack’s movement path is straight pne as it is unbiased.

When the jack stops, it becomes a target for the players. The players while rolpng the ball are allowed to hit the jack with their own bowl and can also move the jack. So this pttle white ball is the center of the play.

Measuring Tape

At such times, it will be impossible to tell which is the closest with a naked eye. At this moment, this equipment the measuring tape plays a big role in finding who the winner is.
