What size and type of Bowls should I buy?
Most people prefer "gripped" bowls these days and medium weight is the default. Black is the most popular colour by far.
The size is the most difficult thing to guess if you don't know as it is a personal thing relating to the size of the hands of the bowler. However, we can give you some rules of thumb viz:
Ladies tend to buy size 00 - 3.
Gents tend to buy size 3 - 6.
Most popular sizes are 1 2 3 & 4.
An average gent will probably find size 4 OK. An average lady typically
goes for size 1 or 2.
Size 00 is for the very smallest lady's hands.
