Garry comments: Taylor bowls give me the confidence that the product will perform on any surface  and give me  the ability to play the shots.  The clothes are a high standard and very nice.

Which model(s)/size of Taylor bowls  do you enjoy playing with and why? ..Taylor International size 2. I use these because I like the line that these boys take and the size 2 lets me grip them better in the rain. I use  Vectors indoor due to leading or playing front end in games.

What country/region/club/team do you play for?

Scotland para bowls

Blackwood Victoria BC (outdoor)

Blantyre miners welfare IBC (indoor) 

When and why did you start playing bowls?  I started playing bowls in the summer of 1999. After a "come and try" event organised through my school.

In the bowling world who do you most admire and why?

My best mate Iain McLean.

This man is the best! Great guy to play. And his record is second to none in my eyes.
