What makes a great Coaching Video ? Certainly the correct information, but more important is when even a 12 year club coach can learn something. "Bowls with Bryant"
is such a Lawn Bowls Video.
So, this blog which attempts to touch everything which somehow gets lost on the Wide..Wide.Web (www). (I know World is one of the three w's but "Search Engines" need a more user-friendly and user-tailoring structure. If you want to see David in action the 1980 World Indoor Champion is on youtube.
Lets do a small quiz to see how these points are what you know about your bowls.
1 - From what Bowls country was David Bryant representing when he was lawn bowling ?
2 - What 3 years was he Singles Champion of the World ? and What 3 years was he Indoor Champion ?
3 - He was awarded Member and then Commander of what British Order of Excellence for Bowls ?
4 - What was his trademark image and was although not permitted to be use it, was said to add to his level of concentration.
5 . In this video he says that there are the five (5) methods or aids for putting weight onto your bowl. What are they? and which do you know or use to adjust your weight. (Stance,.Length, Speed, Body Weight and Grip all affect your delivery weight)
6. - How does Southern Bowlers use their knee to slow down their delivery ?
7 - How does the grip and your caressing of your bowl for Fast Greens effect your delivery speed ?
8 - Does a bowl on a fast green take longer or more seconds than a slow green ?
9. David has a style of juggling his bowl during his Pre-Delivery. What is the reason for this ?
10 - Why Jack to Point of Line glare done several times before his delivery ?
I hope this has drawn some serious interest in watching the video and even the 1980 Indoor Finals. (even if you are a great bowler)
With all the cookies and data collected by companies about our web usage they should offer us a gauge method to indicate which cookies are chocolate coated and which are just plain. This video was not found by a "Plain search" but luck. Also it was send to a few of my fellow team mates because there are old Bowls Terms in this video prepared by TORO. How many remember the support Bowls received from such companies as TORO and Tetley Tea and others.
A great Video well worth the viewing. Enjoy and if as a beginner to Bowls ask your coach about what seems strange as words like "Bend" and "Shoulder" may be older terms less used today.

It is not true that David Bryant did not smoke when on the green. In a video of the (I think) 1988 Commonwealth games mens' pairs final between England and Australia there is clearly smoke coming from his pipe.
