Crown green bowls is tricky

[antby11]

Im a flat green player and i would generally say flat is harder i play crown too in winter and find it much easier to get more wins at crown and thats saying something since i was the bolton flat green champion at 12 which is arguably the best club in Lancashire for skill level

In Flat green the little white jack doesnt have a bias in it, only the bowls do

In Crown green bowls, the jack is bigger and has a bias

In flat green bowls there are usually 4 bowls per player

In crown green it's two

I think they're the main differences, not sure though as I dont play flat green.

On that basis, then it definitely was flat green that we were playing. It was four bowls per player, and an artificial surface. Thanks for the insight.

The main differences between flat green bowls and crown green bowls are:

Crown green bowls is played on a 'green' which is natural grass (usually) and has a crown in it

Flat green bowls is played on an artificial surface

The bowls in Crown green bowls are smaller with a lighter weight

Looks pretty much like Flat Green dude.

Flat green? Never heard of that. Point me in the direction of what it looks like. I'm intrigued.
