AERO BOWLS
The Aero Exclusive Arc with Centre Point Trajectory© is made with
incredible precision for dramatically improved wind stability and
accuracy for all shots. Other makes of bowls with a banana shape, hook,
swoop or flat finish are much more wind affected and will track with
less accuracy. The AERO trajectory is very different from all other
brands… in fact they are not even close. Aero bowls provide bowlers who
want the best with a trajectory for extremely accurate bowling… more
accurate than was ever previously possible. Aero are the world’s most
accurately manufactured bowls and that’s plain fact.

Maxim – The
characteristic of the Aero Maxim, or AeroMaxim, is that it is a wide
swinging bowl with a strong finish. It is designed for slow paced
greens and is ideal for UK conditions. As with all Aero bowls, these
are milled with precision in mind and the Maxim has a gentle, accurate
arc that will hold the line.

Sonic - has
more bias than the Aero GrooVe. Designed by Alex Marshall MBE, the bowl
is suitable for those who prefer a wider drawing bowl for outdoor play.
Its particularly effective in early season and on difficult, heavy
greens. It’s the choice of Paul Foster MBE, Ellen Falkner, and Amy
Gowshall for the outdoor season.
Groove – The
Aero Groove, or AeroGroove, suits normal outdoor grass conditions in
the UK and South Africa, and most other bowls playing countries with
the exception of Australia and New Zealand. It has less swing than the
Maxim and is ideal for faster outdoor greens but can also be used on
slow greens, including uneven, tracky green surfaces.
Quantum - has been introduced as an improved and updated version of the successful Revolution,
the oldest Aero model in the UK. This is a natural progression and
development of continuous research to improve the trajectory. The new
Quantum sits in between the Profile and the Groove following feedback
that the bias of the Revolution was closer to the Groove. It’s an ideal
mid-bias bowl which can be used for both indoor and outdoor play. An
excellent choice for back end play indoors and front end play outdoors.
Can be used effectively by all playing positions on average to slow
paced indoor surfaces and quicker outdoor surfaces.
Revolution – The Aero Revolution, or AeroRevolution, was
used by Jeremy Henry who won the 2013 World Cup. It benefits from a
predictable and accurate arc, and holds the line with the least amount
of weight, so you can bowl with accuracy on the mat. It suits indoor or
fast outdoor conditions.
Space –
The Aero Space, or AeroSpace, is suitable either for very fast indoor
or fast outdoor conditions. It is the newest range to the UK and is
also Comfitpro’s narrowest drawing bowl in their UK range. The Aero
Space has a comparable type of drawline to the Henselite Dreamline bowl.
