What is a bowling arm?

A woman using a bowling arm to play lawn bowls.

A bowling arm has a claw at one end, a long bar handle, and a hand operated squeeze mechanism at the top.

Handy if you love to play lawn bowls, this bowling arm means you don't have to bend down to pick up and bowl your ball.

Instead, you squeeze the handle, which opens the claw, grab your ball, and swing!

A bowling arm is helpful if you have arthritis, you have trouble bending, you have upper limb weakness, or you suffer from pain, or fatigue.
