Mikey brother your revs were already off the charts with 1 hand, 2 hand looks unbelievable on you!!! I know you've battle through a lot of adversity lately and I'm super happy to see you come out on top of it. Can't wait to see you make some shows bro!!! 💪💪
Finished 19/20 at this event, was cool to see you there! My teammate and I were both having issues getting our hands to clear properly unfortunately, both had stuff worked on recently that weren't fitting super great. Funny enough, last year I switched from 2 handed (8 years including college) to 1 handed, though it was to get a better rev rate to speed ratio since I was extremely rev dominant. I can definitely agree that there are less injury risks to the hand with 2 handed, and your game looks really good! Your hand ends up in a really good spot at release, both with playing more up the back with urethane and getting around it more with reactive! I think you are in a spot where no matter which you decide to do, you'll have a great game to take out on tour!
When the universe gives you a bunch of signs, it's usually a good idea to listen. Going two handed seems to be what you are supposed to be doing. Don't fight it, just roll with it. By the way, Chandler throws the ball wicked good!
Hey Mike! Regarding you mentioning needing a pitch change: Could you expand abit and show us what you feel and see with the ball not sitting right in the hand, and not coming off it the right way? Since you are at a high level and have this crazy amazing release it would be very educational to us "mortal" 2-handers =). Big fan of your journey and wish you all the best from Sweden! /S
I started bowling in the early 90's. My style has lots of speed and lots of revs. The biggest variable to how well i bowl is my timing and how well i come out the thumb. If its spot on, I'll score well. If my timing is slightly off, i can get in real slump. Makes sense to me that if you can remove that variable, you should.
Enjoyed the USOPEN struggles as well as your victory. IMO, your 2 handed game has more promise for the future. Your hand is much softer at the bottom, on top of the fact that the game has evolved. You throw it great so make the change and keep your thumb out of it.
Hey Mikey, here's a question that might make you think...is there ever a time when the lane tells you that you should be bowling 2 handed vs 1? Like lets say a certain way it transitions or anything like that? Congrats and hope you can continue on with the PBA...big fan of the channel!
“That a baby” = not a saying. But you do say the other 2, “that a boy” and “yeah baby.” So I get where it comes from. I’m just joshing ya. Congrats, take every win you can get sir.
Well Looks like we have lost another one hander to the DARK SIDE, (Darren Tang) BUT....If it makes you a better bowler, I say make it happen brah. Congrats to you and Chandler, Ill be watchin you..
Mommy and Daddy's money here I wish u would win and lose the same way clear head always clear mind allows u to absorb the information u need it's funny how Nate Garcia and those guys will jump all over regionals and win but get racked at pba events I don't see the levels but I guess u can be a top regional athlete and still be bottom of the barrel in pba

Way to come back!! Speaks volumes about your mental fortitude after that experience in the Open. Big fan, keep racking up those dubs!!

Mike MIller won 40k in 10 years on the tour. Took his thumb out of the ball and won 400k the next 10 years!
Your release and footwork with the two handed style reminds me of Osku! Make the switch!!!
i agree very Osku like, wish Osku got more notoriety for the 2 handed style being as big as it is
Congrats Mikey. That's how you bounce back.

Biggest thing that helped me was Vacuum grips , keep on striving
Very nice congratulations 🎉
Good stuff man.. I can’t wait to get the lethal venom
I love it Mikey. I sent you a message about my pitch layout and pain relief.
Continuing to bowl in pain is like going back to that girl who hurt you expecting happily ever after. No bueno! Nice win
The mad man did it.
Hey Mike!

/S
I kinda still like your ball motion one handed. But pain and tourney results can’t be overlooked. Keep Hammering.
Congratulations

Nate Garcia sighting 😂
Great job bouncing back and as you know with repetition you will only get better.

Also he hits it on the up one handed and on tour, that's death
Looks really solid dude! If you need some pitch ideas I have some I can share with you as a good starting point.
Well that was quick, honestly you should go two handed if your comfortable, it's looking good so far.

Absolutely! As a matter of fact I started bowling 2 handed specifically when we bowl on Brunswick oil and Brunswick lane machines
“That a baby” = not a saying. But you do say the other 2, “that a boy” and “yeah baby.” So I get where it comes from. I’m just joshing ya. Congrats, take every win you can get sir.
Hey Mikey, what are some of your go to 2 handed layouts now that you've spent more time with it?
Well Looks like we have lost another one hander to the DARK SIDE, (Darren Tang) BUT....If it makes you a better bowler, I say make it happen brah. Congrats to you and Chandler, Ill be watchin you..
Chandler looks like Kyle Troup mixed with Post Malone

Another one handed PBA bowler lost to the Dark Side!! 🤣
Ugh your a awesome guy, awesome bowler but I personally would rather you stay one handed please. It's a art clearing that thumb.
Unfortunately his health and ability to continue a sport he loves is more important than following an old “art” style.
@ I get that but I can’t see why a POS can’t make the adjustments.
