Product Description,

Bowls need testing and stamping to ensure they meet the regulations for competition play. The stamp indicates that the bowl has been tested and meets the required specifications. 

Why do bowls need testing?

  • Bias: Bowls are tested to ensure they have the correct bias, meaning they will end up in the same spot when bowled in the same way. 
  • Performance: Bowls are inspected to ensure they are performing as well as when they were new. 

Why do bowls need stamping?

  • Competition eligibility: Bowls with the correct stamp are eligible to be used in major competitions. 
  • Legality: Bowls with the correct stamp are legal for competition play. 
  • Re-testing: Bowls are re-stamped after being re-tested to indicate that they have been re-inspected. 

Why do bowls need Buffing?

  • Improved grip: A smooth, polished surface provides better grip for the bowler when delivering the bowl.
  • Consistent trajectory: A smooth surface minimizes friction with the grass, leading to a more predictable bowl path.
  • Appearance: Buffing helps maintain the aesthetic appeal of the bowls, keeping them looking shiny and new.
  • Cleaning and maintenance: Regular buffing with a specialized bowl polish helps remove dirt and grime that can build up on the bowl surface
