One of the most important shots in lawn bowls, the weighted shot. Use this method for trailing jack and landing bowls like a demon. If you got some value out of this video, please like and sub. :)
Really enjoyed this video. This is something I'm just getting my head around, visualisation. It's getting there. The biggest advance for me has been the shooters stance. Absolutely a game changer. Thanks
Really enjoying your videos Nev. I have literally just being playing for a week and bought my first set of bowls. The videos are really helping. Many thanks mate.
Be great to see you playing in the nationals. Sorry to have not seen this sooner but so much happening in the world at moment. Well done with your business. Can't wait to see more from you again.
Thanks Greg. Always very thankful for what you and the Sherman family did for me Greg. Don Snr was an amazing man! I'd love to drop in a visit next time i'm in Bendigo. Are you still in the shop?
@@NevRodda Sold the shop many years ago but still making the bowling arm and testing bowls. Still get people commenting on that very rough video you did on the test table. Greg. (Where are you in NZ?).
@@gregsherman785 Good to hear Greg. Based in Wellington NZ. Been here 7 years now, time certainly does fly. Quick question? Are you able to stamp new bowls? What I mean by that is, if a prototype was made, could you release your own bowl? I've been pondering on that for a few years.
This is how I've been coaching the "yard on" "weighted draw" etc etc sir for a few years. Great that you have put it out there. Also a big advocate of the shooter stance! Going on from this I also coach the heavier shots (maybe rink +1m and heavier) with a completely different stance and setup. The draw stance and delivery has a point where accuracy will break down quite easily. Having a different stance also makes it far easier to differentiate the shots and return to a drawing weight for the next bowl. Great content as always!
Good to have you back and thanks for the content.. can you do some videos on reading the head and finding/ calling the correct shot, building a head correctly for either the skip or your last 2 bowls in singles etc.. A lot of new bowlers struggle with it and there's not much we'll explained coated in the tube.
Always enjoy listening to your videos Nev advice always good to listen to no matter how many years weve been playing. Pick up on small details and use them in my own game to great affect! 😎🤙
Hi mate, practiced the waited bowl for two days and had my junior final last nite, being a first year bowler I’ve taken on everything you have said in your vids, use your brain, see the shot, change to shooter stance, well I bowled out of my skin and beat a bowler in his fifth year, 21-17, thanks a million Nev your a genius, I’m not a young guy and this is my first season so once again cheer’s.
Its wonderful to have you back Nev. Despite 2 replacement knees , back condition that demands a fixed stance n advancing years the shooter stance has solved it for me n helped me win numerous club trophies. This tip today is mega - i cant wait to practice it. Thanks for all your teaching Nev - as a result I love bowls n am keeping fit - even sold my mobility scooter!! Thanks again n please give us more strategy tips - they're great :-)
@@paty8033 he loves chasing bowls down the green. haha has very good hand eye coordination too! Dad has his sights on Go-Kart racing atm, although will let him decide :)
Welcome back Nev. Great advice, as usual. As a relatively inexperienced bowler this aspect of the game has been doing my head in. I'll certainly follow your advice as I did with your shooter stance with great effect. Thanks and keep up the good work. Some advice on dealing with heavy greens, like we have in the UK, would be useful.
Alert the media the RODDAMEISTER is back 🤑 Please keep the content coming 🤩I have put into practice a lot of your content and can see the results on the green ✌️
Always enjoy your videos, glad to see you back. I have found using the shooter stance has made it alot easier to be balanced during delivery. I have just started playing and l wanted to know where l can buy flat Jack's. There doesn't seem to be any available in the uk. Do you have web address where l can buy them?
Hello. I have just started. Love the video's, thanks. I have a dodgy right ankle, so can't bend it enough to do the weight loading. So I have started crouching and coming up off my toes. Any tips for this stance? If I stand up straight, I feel like I am more off balance as I have to stand on my right tiptoe in order to be able to bend low enough to deliver a smooth bowl.
Hi Nev, very helpful, makes sense. I am new to bowls and your videos are very helpful. I used to play golf, I used to visualise the shot before I stepped up to take my stance. Many bowlers play very quickly and don’t appear to visualise. Can you tell me at what point you visualised the shot please, in golf we called it the pre shot routine. Thanks, Nikki.
Gonna take some practice, I've always been comfortable for the skip to tell me where he needs a bowl and then go and place it. Since playing in Australia I had little to no communication from my skip(yes it is social but still important to me) up until last week, unfortunately won't play with the same players every time. Been a big adjustment from a slow green to super fast and synthetic greens and then having to figure out what to do with every end. We also had a lot of visual communication on the green, not as much here.
That's near enough exactly the way I do it. I wish I had someone tell me that years ago, instead of having to work it out for myself. I wonder if others do it this way too or have their own methods?
Howdy Nev, I'm new to bowls, I have noticed that some bowlers (on the take-away) swing the bowl in the hand, to the left and then it realigns again at release.. why is that? .. thank you in advance..Steve
Hi ive done lawn bowls for year's now on and off when i started playing i used my uncles bowls which were a size 5, when i got used to them i played the weighted shots consistently. Is it not getting used to a bowl that matters and building your confidence drawing the bowl and getting the feel.
Absolutely, confidence matters a huge amount! Confidence allows you to do the job on autopilot without second guessing and or blocking what you already know how to do.
Hey nev, I love your coaching videos, I learn so much from you, I was wondering if you'd give me some in person lessons for cash? I'm Melbourne based .. is that something you do? Or could point me in the right direction.. I've started playing 5monghs ago and I am taking on division 1 players with success but I lack knowledge
@@NevRodda Great, please your doing well.Thanks for your tips,have been using the rifle stance,still getting strange looks from the traditional bowlers.Cheers David
