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.

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.

Based on the profile of the DP Professional model at just 98.5mm these Junior bowls are superb for young bowlers unable to handle regular sized bowls. At this size the bowls do not comply with World Bowls rules so they cannot be stamped with the WB stamp or used in some tournaments, but they are great for introducing children to the sport.


Sold in sets of four in Black, Red, Yellow or Blue.

Set of four semi-circular bowls wedges. Purpose: to prevent an unstable bowl at rest from moving or falling over while being measured.Usage: push one wedge gently across carpet towards the front edge of a canting bowl until contact is just made with the part of the bowl resting on the carpet. This will ensure it doesn't fall forwards in the direction of the cant.Once it is securely in place, position a second wedge on the opposite side of the bowl to ensure it is not pushed backwards during the measurement operation.

Well made white baseball cap for dry weather use. Not to be confused with our rainproof baseball cap!  Proper infinitely variable size adjustment at the rear - none of fixed-hole or notch adjustments here on this exqwuisuite (sp?) item of luxury headwear.

And it's about time we stopped calling it a baseball cap. So from today what we sell at Bush Hill Bowls is officially a bowls cap - and we dare anyone to say it isn't.

[That's all very well - but shouldn't someone tell your web shop people? -Ed.]

A man came into our bowls shop and asked "What's the difference between a bowls glove and a golf glove?"

"I don't know", said the shop assistant. "Ah yes, one's designed to grip bowls and the other's designed to grip sticks"

"Well, do you know, I never thought of that", said the customer.

Well.... did you?

White leather belt for wearing with White trousers on match day.. or any other day when you'd prefer your trousers not to end up round your ankles. Brass buckle and flush pop rivets. Real stitching - none of this die-stamped pretend stitching nonsense here!

This practical leather belt pouch solves the problem of chalk and measure annoyingly rubbing inside a trouser or skirt pocket. The other solution - leaving them on the bank and then forgetting them when you are at the other end, is less than practical.

This solution keeps the necessaries around the back out of the way, clipped to your waistband or belt until you need them. Nice!

These little people hoped to grow up to be lollipop ladies but suffered a
hormone imbalance at the factory and got quite depressed. The good news
is that the blue ones have perked up quite a bit after six weeks of art therapy.

The red and yellow are still feeling a bit down in the dumps and thinking of
throwing themselves off the bank into the ditch, so offers of a good home with lots of tlc will be positively entertained.

Update June 2022: These are now in full recovery and available to good homes everywhere if the price offered is right.
Customer from Ayrshire has reported lauching* out loud - not sure if about our product description or the price....

No, really when someone first told me about these I said "You're 'avin a laugh." It sounded so silly, putting a bowl inside a sort of tube and then slinging it backwards and forwards... but then it was pointed out to me that with the bowl in it the weight became similar to a sort of arm exerciser, and the more you polished your bowls the stronger your arms got and that meant that, especiall early in the season, when most of the Club was having trouble getting it up there, he was reaching the long jacks as if they wer right in front of his nose.



So after that I took these sleeves very seriously indeed.

So there were these two bowls that fell in love with each other. The looked into each other's eyes, held out their arms to each other and clasped hands.

"Oh darling" said the one on the right, "if only we could free ourselves from these canvas restraints we could embrace properly!"



"Steady on Frank", said the one on the left. "I have a sneaking suspicion we may be related to each other!"
