The first thing about lawn bowl is that it is quite old and most English speaking countries like playing this particular game. For those who are not from these specific countries or have never played this game before, it is important to learn few basic concepts working behind this game. So, here are the things that you need to know about this spectacular game.

• This particular game is played on a large ground or surface. Since it is played on grass, so the ground or surface is also referred to as "green".
• In terms of equipment, you need nothing but resin balls. These large balls come with a bias to them, which is to make sure that balls travel in an elliptical path.
• To learn about the process of play, you need to have some knowledge about the lawn bowling lingo. You already know about the "green" but it is also important to know about the "rinks". Generally, a green is divided into different lanes of grass, called "rinks". This is done to allow multiple players play at the same time. "Jack" is another thing to learn about. In fact, the jack is the main thing in this game as a bowls are thrown to hit "jack", a small white ball.
• Apart from what is being told in previous points, there are few other things you need to learn about. Delivery style, for instance, is quite interesting. This is usually called the "low and slow" style as players bend and move slowly to throw the bowl towards the jack. Moreover, it is important to know about another common term used for the cluster of bowls around a "kitty" or jack. This situation is known as "head". And when bowl is thrown to hit jack while avoiding the head it is known as draw shot.
• Here, it is also crucial to mention that sometimes the bowl is rolled to make it difficult for an opponent to get to the jack. That particular shot is called block shot. To deal with this block shot, it is important for other player to play "drive shot" which doesn’t only hit the jack but also knocks the obstacle out of the way.
