John Snell is Australia's master and best-known bowls personality who has created a phenomenal record in club, state, national and international bowls in recent years. In this thoughtful and instructive book, he points out that there is much more to bowls than meets the eye. To play the game well requires dedication, physical fitness and subtlety of mind - a challenge for any age group. Applying the thoroughness and attention to detail that have taken him to the top in bowls, John Snell gives step-by-step instructions to teach you the fundamentals of the game, outlining common pitfalls and how to overcome them. His practical advice is aided by colour photography and on-the-green graphics to show how to perfect your technique. A series of photographs which detail tactical plays, and a chapter on the championship factor in bowls - the mental approach - are included.

David Bryant, Britain's leading bowls player, who has competed internationally with John Snell on several occasions, has contributed a foreword recommending the book to all keen players anxious to improve their game.
