Have two sets - Drakes Pride Extra heavy special which are useful on windy days and Taylors Vector VS heavy which are very narrow and very good to draw into a crowded head or for the upshot but it must be in calm conditions.

Interested to hear you have 2 weapons of choice that you change depending on the conditions.
I use Dreamlines, but have considered switching back to my old Classic 2's when the conditions are tough.
Do you find it difficult to switch between the two SP?

One day we should try and put an SA Footy rink into a tournament down there in the burbs or up here in the bush

A northern Tasmanian lawn bowler has been suspended for headbutting another player.
Ulverstone Bowls Club player Wayne Polden was found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute by headbutting Penguin's Ricky Richardson.
The North West Tasmania Bowls Association on Thursday suspended Mr Polden for two weeks, while Mr Richardson was reprimanded for abusing an umpire, after allegedly calling him a "cheat".
NWTBA president David Langmaid said the incident last Saturday was the first case of headbutting he had come across in 20 years in the sport.
"The association is very disappointed in the actions of both players. We don't want to see this sort of situation arise again," Mr Langmaid told the Burnie Advocate.

Our boys ended up losing the pairs - going down by a few shots
They bowled pretty good - but you've just got to love the oppositions bowls - a mile off target, clip this bowl, knock onto that bowl, go sideways - oh look at that - we've got shot
- it's okay when that happens once but it happened about 4 times !!!
stupid bowls
