Drakes Pride XP Bowls (extra bias)

Drakes Pride are the most reputable and longest standing English bowls manufacturer and have been the leading supplier globally of quality bowling equipment for many decades.

The Drakes Pride XP bowl has the handling characteristics of the world-beating Drakes Pride Professional but with a greater bias that should suit many outdoor greens.

A number of top bowls players advised Drakes Pride during the development of the XP bowl and it is designed to give the ideal line for an outdoor model. The result is a bowl with the reliable balance of a Drakes Pride Professional bowl with a profile and line that many bowlers feel is unsurpassed for the outdoor green.

Rob Weale, Commonwealth Gold medal winner, said about this bowl: "I won Commonwealth Gold with the last new model from Drakes so couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. I was not disappointed! The bowl is beautifully balanced, I've bowled all makes and in my opinion this model certainly delivers the most consistent line."

The extra bias on Drakes Pride XP bowls is also highly suitable for Short Mat bowls and many Short Mat bowlers will find they are unbeatable on Short Mat 45 feet carpets.
