Which model/size of Taylor bowl do you enjoy playing with and why?

Emily says: "At the moment I play with size 4 Internationals, which I think are a great all-round bowl for Short Mat. The Taylor Team are all friendly and helpful - their products are well designed and 100% reliable."

In the bowling world who do you most admire and why?

"I wouldn't say I admire one indvidual bowler but I do look up to any top player who still has the upmost respect for other players whatever their ability."

Favourites:- Emily likes films with Tom Hanks, especially Forrest Gump and her favourite band is Mumford and Sons.
