Please let me have you opinions on the skittle shown :

3-CON110-17 SKITTLE.pdf (36.57 KB)

Especially  is it within the rules and if not why not ?    

AEBBA Rules quote the following spec.:

74) There shall be one black and two white skittles of equal size and weight. To a height of at least 5.1 cm above its base each skittle should be cylindrical with a diameter between 1.5 cm and 1.8 cm. Skittles should be 11.4 cm tall +/- 0.6 cm.

So what is your own actual opinion on the draw concave skittle then ?

I see it as :-

If that is the total amount of the rules , then the draw concave skittle would be legal dimensionally , I think !

Overall height 11.0 cm is within tolerance  and the cylindrical diameter varies between 1.8 and 1.5cm to a height above 5.1cm

I am basing this on the fact that the rules don't state that the diameter should be constant , only that it should be in the tolerance of 1.5 to 1.8cm

What weight is preferred ............light or heavy , this can easily be governed .

Does anyone ever object to the skittles used in a league  match on the night ?

Are natural wood colours acceptable as being white ?

Yes, they look very nice and so long as they do the job, as they say.....

League players are not too pernickety over the quality of those supplied as part of the table kit: many have chips in the varnish and sometime even dog bite marks.

Yes, natural wood is used (don't think I've ever seen any painted white, except for mushrooms used in 4-pin).
