The Taylor Legacy SL is a fantastic outdoor bowl. It pairs a mid-to-wide bias with a smooth draw.

The bowl is slimmer than the other Taylor models. This coupled with Taylor's Progrip makes the Legacy SL ideal for bowlers with smaller hands who struggle to maintain a proper grip of their bowls.

Line analysis

The Taylor Legacy SL has a mid-to-wide bias. This produces a wider arch to the jack compared to the Lazer and Ace models. This makes it ideal for outdoor play in order to handle heavy unresponsive greens.

The wider bias means that you can play skip and other late positions. Also, the smooth draw line means that the Legacy model could be ideal for singles play.

Have only had these bowls a couple of weeks & I'm well impressed with them. Being a slimline bowl they fit well in your hand & have improved my accuracy.
