Mini Story
This boxed set of Taylor Vector lawn bowls dates to the early 2000s, identified by the original WBB 10 World Bowls approval stamp (valid to 2010) and the later WB 32 re-approval extending approval through to 2032. This confirms the bowls were manufactured in the early 2000s and later tested and re-approved, a recognised and accepted process within competitive lawn bowls.
Founded in 1796 in Scotland, Taylor Bowls is one of the oldest and most respected names in the sport, renowned for precision engineering, consistency, and quality. Taylor bowls from this era are particularly well regarded for their durability and predictable performance.
The Vector model is known for its reliable, controlled line and suits confident competition bowlers seeking stability and consistency, while remaining an excellent option for experienced social players. Finished in classic black with light blue rings and supplied in the original Taylor Vector box, this set also holds appeal for collectors seeking a well-documented, boxed example from a respected Scottish maker.
