Desperation Shots to Win at Lawn Bowls

When your team is losing badly to a team that you feel is inferior, the tactic is often to try low percentage shots in order to come back to win. Usual all this achieves is to deepen the hole you are in and widen the margin of defeat. Comebacks are more often the result of the weaker team finally running out of luck and handing over victory; so, it is a better idea to just slow down the game, keep delivering the best percentage bowl and await developments. When the opponents see you starting even a slight comeback they can easily lose concentration and collapse. Keep the pressure on!

I do not mean by this that in the last end, when you need to remove an opposing bowl in order to get the 4 shots you need, you forgo the on-shot because you are only trained for a dead draw. Ultimately you must try to do what you need to do to win. Simply, be sure that it really is the last chance and all the more likely opportunities have been exhausted. In particular, be sure it will not be possible for the opponents to flub victory on their own.
