Bowls tips and thoughts from other FB pages.

So what are the strengths of the great number two players?

1 Drawing to the jack when the lead has failed

2 Adding more shots, building on what the lead has contributed

3 Tucking bowls in just behind the jack to reinforce the head and anticipate movement of the jack

4 Playing subtle trail shots to move the jack ‘round the corner’, making it harder for the opponent

5 Opening up the head with heavily weighted shots to destroy the head-building of the opposition

6 Bonding with the lead as a front end partnership, motivating, empathising and supporting

7 Encouraging the third and skip, calling their bowls on and contributing to shot discussion when needed.
