2. Divisions

8 is the axis of the rink
0 is the angle for the draw shot
The width of the angle between 8 and 0 is governed by the speed of the green and climatic conditions:
a) the slower the green the narrower the angle.
b) the faster the green the wider the angle.

3. Drive Shot Area

Is the area between 8 and 7.
Its width is governed by the speed of the delivery.

4. Running Shot Area

Is the area between 6 and 5.
Its width is governed by the speed of the delivery.

5. On Shots – Controlled Weight

Is the area between 4 and A.
When using On Shots in this area with controlled weight, if the target is missed, the bowl is retained at the head area for further use or supporting back bowl.
An on shot with controlled weight is only
an extension of the draw shot.
