Played seriously in parts of Northern England and Australia, Table Bowls gives Snooker and Pool players something new and fun. The game is played just like bowls on a lawn except each wood is carefully aimed using a special wooden chute. A skillful game for two players, table bowls is designed to be played on a billiards table or other flat surface. There are two different sizes of table bowls - 5.1cm (2 inch) and 5.7cm (2 1/4 inch) in diameter and two corresponding sets. Each set consists of a hardwood chute, an unbiased jack and 4 pairs of table bowls. The 2 inch set features 4 pairs of bowls, each pair with a different bias. Jack is 1.25 inches diameter. The bowls in the 2 1/4 inch set all have the same bias. Jack is 1.5 inches diameter.
