Can a player switch all four bowls for a different set during a Singles game?

In a Singles game, players are required to use the same set of bowls throughout the match. This rule ensures consistency and fairness, as the characteristics of the bowls, such as weight, size, and grip, can significantly affect gameplay. Allowing a player to switch all four bowls for a different set could introduce inconsistencies, giving that player an unfair advantage if the new bowls behave differently.

The rule serves to maintain the integrity of the game, ensuring that both players compete under the same conditions. While there may be restrictions or allowances for changing one or two bowls under specific circumstances, completely substituting all bowls is not permitted. This standard is in place to uphold the competitive nature of the sport and ensure that skill rather than equipment variations dictates the outcome.
