Episode 84 - Girl Power, Premier League Drama & Back to Basics
Simon’s back from Canada, DJ’s claiming credit for opening international doors, and normal service has well and truly resumed!
In Episode 84 of What a Load of Bowls, we celebrate Lisa Phillips and her team’s impressive victory at the Dubbo International Fours, unpack the Queensland Premier League finals, and discuss why expanding to four rinks could benefit more players and clubs.
With DJ heading to Barham for commentary duties, we also preview the World Champion of Champions singles, pick out contenders in the men’s and women’s fields, and debate whether Simon has already put the curse on his favourite.
In Coach’s Corner, Simon tackles a small detail that could be creating a big inconsistency in your game: where you stand on the mat. Discover how a more consistent starting position and release point can help you better understand and adjust your line.
