The following brief descriptions are intended purely as a snap shot of some of the
most popular bowls in use. If you require more details I recommend you visit the
manufacturers website or consult your local bowls supplier.

OUTDOOR BOWLS

THE INTERNATIONAL & SPECTRUM
A slightly bigger draw than the ACE which makes it ideal for outdoor
greens & medium paced indoor surfaces, especially for back end players.
Available in the following colours :
Red, Green, Dark Green, Maroon, Orange, Blue, Dark Blue.

LIGNOID
Predominantly an outdoor bowl with a wide draw, recommended for
outdoor grass surfaces and short-mat play. Featuring progrip as standard,
the Lignoid retains a high quality finish at an extremely competitive price.

LEGACY
A slimmer profile mid to wide biased bowl, with a controlled finish to
the jack. Suitable for all weather conditions in the uk.
The new 'Pentagrip' is unique to this model.

INDOOR BOWLS

SOLITAIRE
A slimmer bowl with a wider grip, that has a bias the same as the 'Vector'.
Therefore making it more of a front end players bowl on the faster indoor
greens. Features 'Keygrip'.

VECTOR
This is the narrowest bias bowl in the 'Taylor' range, it is ideal for front
end players and is becoming popular on the faster indoor greens.

ACE
A slightly wider drawing arc than the 'Vector' with no hook at the finish.
It's a dual purpose bowl, ideal for any rink position indoors, but while
accommodating front end players on grass, it may be a little too straight for skips.
