Z SCOOP ® GRIP: STATE-OF-THE-ART INNOVATION FROM THE NO.1 IN BOWLS MANUFACTURE
Message from the CEO
Genuine research and development pays
Aero are the most advanced bowls ever made.
Made in Sydney Australia, Aero are state-of-the-art
bowls in all respects. Every set of the same model
has the same bias and trajectory, something never
achieved in bowls manufacture previously. It’s
something that is changing the game for the better
achieved by investment in the most sophisticated
machinery available.
On the green, it is just so obvious that every set
of a model has the same trajectory, which leads to
exceptionally accurate bowling.
It was our main objective to manufacture perfect
sets of bowls and we have achieved this.
The precision of our robotic 7-axis lathes is such that the
very same equipment is used to manufacture aerospace
and F1 racing car parts and, even, components for
artificial hearts.
The accuracy of AeroBowls, and most importantly the
absolute consistency of the manufacturing process, has
attracted the world’s best bowlers to use Aero. Already
more than a dozen world champions or Commonwealth
Games medallists now use Aero worldwide.

Cutting edge Aero grips
Aero registered grips are designed to improve feel when delivering our
state-of-the-art AeroBowls. They are not the simple dimples made by
a drill bit as you find on other brands.
Aero Z Scoop®
As easily as holding a tennis ball
No other bowl in history has had such an
innovative grip, a grip that both aligns the
bowl down your chosen line and allows
one to hold a bowl with such confidence.
The bowl will feel smaller and more secure.
Only Aero’s machinery can make such
a grip.
Our best selling grip world wide
The Z Scoop grip is available on
almost all models and sizes.
N
The Z SCOOP® Grip allows the bowler to
hold, control and deliver a bowl more
easily than ever before

Used by Kelvin Kerkow oam,
Alex Marshall mbe, Ellen Falkner and
Karen Murphy to name but a few.
Aero Plain Rings
Also available
Aero Zig Zag
Aero Dentations
The registered design and perfectly placed ZIG ZAG grips give
excellent reference for effective handling of the bowl without
biting into fingers.
Besides the stunning appearance, the first thing you notice is
the feel…there’s nothing quite like it in the hand. The subtle
but sure grip gives you maximum confidence and is particularly
effective in damp conditions.
The grip is designed wide, to suit those who place fingers
on the top or sides of the bowl. In wet weather this cleverly
designed grip assists in holding the bowl.
® Aero Z-Scoop, AeroDentations, Aero ZigZag are all registered designs.
On the green its designed to deflect wind away from the
bowl, thanks to the turbulent flow effect, so there is minimum
disruption to your chosen line.

State-of-the-art AeroBowls
Unique Trajectory
Aero sell Jacks on a cost
plus basis to clubs.
Our Harbour bridge trajectory was
decided as the ultimate line to the jack
by some of the world’s best bowlers.
On the draw shot every Aero Model starts to turn approximately
half way between the mat and the jack. The unique Aero
Trajectory holds the line with weight more than any other brand.
The Aero midpoint trajectory
· Less affected by the wind
Precision Midpoint Trajectory TM
· Designed to perform on tracky
or uneven greens
· Manufactured with a gentle
turn towards the target
· Easily visible
· Exceptionally accurate tracking
to the target
The logic is straight forward, more
time from the centre point to
turn towards the target. The Aero
midpoint arc is made possible by
While with Aero every set of a
model is the same bias...you know
exactly what you are getting when
you buy an Aero bowl. Aero are
the most advanced manufacturing
unit for bowls and all processes are
fully approved by World Bowls and
every bowl is table tested to ensure
World Bowls compliance.

And now with the introduction of our registered design
Z Scoop grip, holding a bowl is as comfortable as holding a
tennis ball. So comfortable that it is now over 70% of our
sales. The Z Scoop grip effectively allows the bowler to go
up a size and still have a secure hold on the bowl. Crucial for
consistent bowling.
An explanation on weights
It is not possible to give an exact weight that will match
every colour and size we make. No bowls manufacturer can.
It is well proven that small variances in weight between two
same models has NO affect on performance.
We use melamine of a grade and density that provides
exceptional stability and strength to your set.
Extra heavy is available in limited colours. (Extra heavy is only
suggested for rock hard greens and blustery conditions).
