fml guy, absolutely anything spheroid or even close to spheroid is a ball, when u roll your bogies up what have u got?   yes a snot ball, look at it with your eyeball and please stop talking balls.

   

[tikay]

are bowls balls?

Good point, they are woods, not balls.  The only ball is the Jack.

only called woods due to thats what they where made of

I used to play it a lot, you call those woods balls you'd be laughed all the way back to a Saga Holiday.

Oi Tommy, pack it in, or get back next door.

Hahaha.  I did seriously used to play a lot though.  I was the youngest on the green by a clear 40 years sometimes.  Enjoyable game which can be a frustrating as golf but requires less walking.  Played well you need a fair whack of skill.  And Woods are never balls.

I believe that the potted ball is also still deemed to be in play until the cueball has come to rest also...

And WTF bowls. What about when the Jack is rolled? Game has obv started
