So tell me, guys - just what are the rules (if any)on throwing with the palm uppermost?

There isn’t actually a rule saying how you should or shouldn’t hold or throw the boule – presumably you could bowl over-arm or like a shot-putter!?

The main advantage of having the palm on top is that it allows much better control of the spin by being able to impart backspin, which isn’t possible if you hold the boule with the palm underneath.

Having said this, a few players do play palm underneath, even the odd shooter, and still seem to do pretty well.
