Drakes Pride Polishing Sleeve
£4.99No, 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.Maximum quantity exceededMinimum purchase amount of 0 is required6 Left in Stock -

The choice between spray chalk and stick chalk for marking touchers in the sport of bowls can depend on personal preference, playing conditions, and the rules of the specific competition. Each type of chalk has its advantages and considerations.
Advantages of Spray Chalk:
- Precision: Spray chalk allows for a more precise and controlled application. Players can mark the specific area of the bowl that has made contact, making it easier to determine the toucher. [Hmmm – sorry AI, but you got that wrong. There’s no way anyone would want to do that, even if it were possible, which it ain’t. – Ed.]
- Visibility: Some players find that spray chalk provides better visibility, especially in bright sunlight. The spray creates a thin, even layer that is easily seen on the green. [Hmmm again – the idea of a thin even layer is nice in theory. In practice, though, you more often than not get a central nucleus of chalk surrounded by a gradually thinning spread – a bit like my hair, in fact. -Ed.]
- Ease of Removal: Spray chalk is often easier to remove from the bowls and the green compared to stick chalk. This can be important for maintaining the condition of the equipment and the playing surface. [Aha! You got that one spot on – no pun intended, but hey, who turns down a free lunch? – Ed.]
Advantages of Stick Chalk:
- Tradition: Stick chalk has been used in bowls for a long time and is a traditional method of marking touchers. Some players prefer the familiarity and simplicity of using stick chalk.
- Quick Application: Stick chalk can be quicker to apply than spray chalk, as it involves a simple swipe of the chalk stick on the bowl.
- Less Wind-Dependent: In outdoor conditions, spray chalk can be affected by wind, leading to potential drift and inaccurate marking. Stick chalk may be less susceptible to these issues.
Ultimately, whether spray chalk is considered “better” than stick chalk depends on individual preferences, local customs, and the specific requirements of the game or tournament. Players may choose the option that aligns with their playing style and the conditions they commonly encounter on the greens.
We also asked the AI to find out who invented spray chalk for bowls and when it was first used in the game. This time, the answer was somewhat less informative:
“I couldn’t find specific information on the first person or company to sell bowls spray chalk. It’s possible that the product is a niche or specialized item, and details about its origin may not be widely documented. If this is a relatively new or uncommon product, you might want to check with manufacturers, distributors, or retailers directly for more precise information on its history and introduction to the market.”
