Questions about Drakes Pride

What is the difference between lawn bowls and crown green bowls?

Crown green bowls are played on a green that rises to a crown in the middle; they are chosen by weight, from 2lb to 2lb 12oz, and the crown green jack has a bias too.

Which Drakes Pride lawn bowls should I choose?

The Professional is the mid bias all-rounder used by many top players, indoors and out. The Pro-50 is the same bowl with a deep Channel Grip.
