I Answer Your Questions 1 - Why are there two types of jack?

[@nigeldavis4220]

Another interesting tutorial, I’ve been playing bowls indoor and outdoor for 10 years and I didn’t know there were two or more weights of Jack. Thanks for explaining it, keep you videos coming please.

Thanks for this Alec very informative

At my club we have a few visual impaired bowlers and the ones who can see the jack, find it easier to see the white jack compared with a yellow jack. There isn't so much issue about white shoes obscuring the jack, as there more and more coloured shoes being worn now.

There is a 3rd jack even heavier, which is used in Short Mat Alec

Is it heavier than the normal indoor jack? I have never played short mat, but yes, I should have mentioned that. Thanks for pointing it out. 👍

Yes, a short mat bowl jack is heavier than an indoor one, as far as I can remember, been a long time snice I played short mat. You should give short mat bowls a try it's a fun game to play
