The vexed question of narrow bowls engenders hot debate – from both sides – but as Bruce Hensell told Terry Maddaford, he was a reluctant convert and is no fan of today’s narrow bowls which have taken a fair degree of skill from the sport too often turning the traditional game in to little more than skittles
The new independent magazine for lawn bowls, bowlers and everyone who has an interest in this growing sport - a sport where New Zealand proudly has numerous world class competitors who between them have won, and currently hold, many World Championships and Commonwealth Games Medals.
The current “Black Jacks” squad members are amongst the very best in the world, with constant pressure to keep their places from talented up-and-coming athletes, especially in the 20 - 40 year old age group!
Yes, lawn bowls is attracting many younger people who have found it to be a very competitive and challenging non-contact sport, where age and physicality are no barrier to success, rather where skill, technique and tactics play vital roles in winning. To be a winner takes great concentration, commitment and stamina, as well as regular coaching and practice.
Research undertaken over the past two years by Milestone Publishing Co Ltd, an organisation which has had a long-standing relationship with Lawn Bowls in New Zealand, publishing Provincial Centre and Club Handbooks & Scorecards, NZ Open Souvenir Programmes, etc, has strongly indicated a need for what is New Zealand’s first and only subsciber-based, sport-dedicated periodical.
The Editor of this exciting new periodical is the highly respected and award winning Sports wordsmith, Terry Maddaford.
As a sport with growing attraction to younger and younger competitors, bolstering the number of more ‘mature’ new entrants, such a publication will become a valuable passive recruitment tool for clubs.
We hope you will get great enjoyment and value from your new magazine - just go to the “Purchase Subscriptions” page to arrange for your personal copy to be mailed to you - or to give a welcome gift to a friend and/or that someone special; they’ll love you for it!
Happy Bowling.

The name Hensell has been associated with bowls for almost a century and when someone as preeminent in the sport as former Henselite boss Brace Hensell speaks out you have to listen. Asked about the introduction of narrower and narrower bowls, Hensell does not mince words. “I was totally against it,” said Hensell from his Melbourne home. “The introduction of the narrower bowl was pushed by a former president of Bowls Australia. It was stupid and done for the wrong reason. “Basically, he could not handle fast greens and wanted a narrower bowl. He was on the International Bowling Board and pushed for change when it should have been the reverse as only Australia and New Zealand have genuinely fast greens which play much better with the bigger drawing bowl. “And, it is not only at the top of the sport which is suffering from the advent of these narrower bowls. Ordinary club players who used to go out for a couple of hours, have a game and a drink now find they are out much later simply because of the number of killed ends. The young guy today is only playing a game that resembles skittles. “You could be the best lead in the world but you good work often counts for nothing as too many bowls are just blasted off the green. The game has changed. Not necessarily for the better. World Bowls has gone mad... Read the entire article in our latest edition.
Brassey continues to show his class
The migration of New Zealand bowlers to greens on the other side of the Tasman shows no sign of abating and, as Rowan Brassey told Richard Girvan, there are decided benefits from making the move. The New South Wales 1 grade pennant season gets underway in early March with several Kiwis set to be in action on the greens around the State. ... Read the entire article in our latest edition.
