Last year we played a team whose skip played a drive on just about every end. Daft of us not to put enough bowls around the back of the head, but nevertheless I was left thinking what was the point of all the previous players building a tight head?<br /><br />I really enjoy singles because the outcome is all down to me. Didn't used to get 2 wood singles, but REALLY like it now. The purest form of bowls, just drawing to the jack against your opponent.<br /><br />Thanks, JohnJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11149441881062721972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471366944778036006.post-11070501751143058882015-05-30T08:20:46.385+01:002015-05-30T08:20:46.385+01:00Played well, rinks is a true test and requires eac...Played well, rinks is a true test and requires each member of the team to play their position well.<br />Whilst it's true there can be a long interval between each turn on the mat (indoors 10 minutes is not unusual) time flies as you become involved in shot selection and tactics. I now rate it as my favourite form of the sport.<br />The ability to focus on your shot when you only have 2 bowls each end will improve your play in singles, pairs and triples.<br />How about trying 2 wood singles when you practice?GreenHareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991912269340178773noreply@blogger.com
