Drakes Pride

ALL SIZES NOW IN STOCK - choose colour and size below to confirm your selection.
The Drakes Pride Bowling Arm is approved by Bowls England for use in all competitions. It's designed to assist a bowler who due to infirmity could not otherwise deliver a bowl. Also approved by the British Crown Green Bowling Association.

Typically the arm comes into its own where a person has hip/knee/back issues which restrict their ability to bend down to deliver the bowl correctly.
(NB: Please note that bowling arms are excluded from our 30-day returns policy)

The latest in bowls lifters, this telescopic lifter is made from lightweight aluminium. It pushes shut to store in your bag. Like its foldaway cousin,
it takes the repetitive strain out of bowls by letting you pick up your bowls or jack prior to delivery and also line up the jack with similar ease.

NB: the handle colour you receive (green or black) will depend on available stock.

This nifty lifter takes the repetitive strain out of bowls by letting you pick up your bowls prior to delivery with bending down. Reverse it and use the handle end to align the jack when you're playing skip, and never have to crouch or groan when your lead shouts "Just a half!"

Wet weather and heavy bowling usage can damage turf, so protect your surface from divots and scrapes with these mats to protect turf from the impact of the bowl. They are made from a hard wearing polypropylene mesh with reinforced brass eyelets on three sides for secure fixing and a sewn-in polythene band around the edge to give the eyelets extra grip - preventing slippage when in use. Fixing pegs are included.

Also useful on open days when new bowlers are likely to damage the green.

Approx sizes:

Standard:8 feet x 7 feet  (2.4m x 2.1m)  
Extended: 9 feet x 7 feet (2.7m x 2.1m)

Caution: these mats have been known to give rise to ructions when an official determines that a bowler is damaging the green and asks for them to be deployed. Use with discretion to avoid giving offense!

Here's a handy folding walking stick complete with green protector and its own bag.

Drakes Pride's 2nd generation Solar trainer: its molded sole has a micro-grip rubber base to help prevent slipping. This single piece sole surface makes this one of the few shoes available today which is truly heel-less and bowling green friendly. The hi-tech breathable material from which the shoe is manufactured make this an incredibly lightweight and comfortable bowling shoe. The outer is fabric-free making it the ideal wet-weather footwear too.
Full sizes only from 3 - 14.
NB - Drakes Pride shoes are tightly sized - we recommend buying one size larger than your normal shoe size. If you wear a half size, then always buy a Solar 2 shoe of the next full size higher e.g. if you usually wear 9 1/2, buy Solar size 10.
