I’m two handed. I started last year. Tried bowling one handed to start and could generate hook. I’m 30. My buddies told me if they were just starting they would do two handed so I did. Just shot 654 for my best night ever last night. Your videos helped me understand bowling a lot. Appreciate it.
I started one-handed when I was in high school and into college. Didn't play from college to this last summer(15ish years later). A couple hockey related injuries made it so two-handed is my new bowling style. Absolutely loving it! Your reviews, tips, and joy in the sport has been wonderful to watch and learn from.
Was one handed, thumbless the first 20 years of my life. Had a real bad injury to my dominant wrist and couldn't use one hand due to very limited Range of Motion and overall less wrist strength that I couldn't get back. Went two-handed, sucked for about a year, something finally clicked half-way through my first league. Now I am consistently in the top of our league against some very high scratch bowlers. Wish I would've learned initially as a kid, maybe I would be on TV already if I did. xD
Keep shooting this kind of informative content in this channel! The spare drill is also important for two-handed bowlers too. Hope this kind of content will assist more bowlers in the world. Love you guys!
I’ve been a one hander my whole life, although I tried two-handed a few times at the end of my practice days. My high game with two hands is a 240 game. It definitely isn’t as easy as it looks.
Great info!!! Just the video I was looking for. After a 40+ yr layoff (i am almost 70), I came back to bowling about 2 months ago. Back then I threw finger tip, bowled on leagues and had about 175-180 avg. Now, after 2 months I went from about 125 up to 170 avg. I am getting 50% strikes but my spares need more improvement. I am using a 14# ball bc i don't have the strength to throw a 15 or 16# ball. Watching my practice vids i can see my wrist is open way before the bottom of my swing. A I was wondering which way to go....- drop down to a 13#, or try 2 handed? My second question would be hard to answer definitively but just a rough guess: in my situation about how long do you think it would take for me to learn 2 handed, weeks? months? or don't even try it bc you can't teach old dogs new tricks 😀😀
@@ronkoontz8976 Not sure if you'll get this message, since it's been a while since you posted it. I have the same issue with my thumb. I was wondering how it's going, how are you bowling. Do you recommend two handed? I've been a one hander for decades.
I have bowled one handed for 30 years. After seeing a friend of mine try two handed, I watch a ton of videos, including this one, to understand how it works. Things I struggle with are keeping the shoulder down, speed (only 14mph) and keeping the ball close to my body and ankle on release. I love this video and all it has to offer!
Started one-handed, then I bought my first reactive ball. Got my thumb stuck a few times in it, trying to get used to my new ball. I threw my ball in the air few times because of it and once in the alley next to me. Was so embarassed... Then I try one hand but with no thumb. It was difficult for me to control the hook as I put too much hook and not enough speed + it hursts my wrist after several games. This is why I am now playing 2 handed, which works better for me. But I still struggle with the speed : too much hook, not enough speed. I'll try to accelerate my approach like Jimoo is suggesting. Thanks a lot for the video ! Very helpful !
As a one handed Southpaw all my life, 52, started bowling at 6, or 7 years old. I have to mention that, the demonstration of the one hand throw, is no way accurate for the way a one handed bowler would have a release like that. Especially one who has been bowling for years. A better demonstration would be to get a one handed bowler, with a good release, then compare it to a two handed bowler.
I’m 67, cannot stop topping the ball no matter what I try. During open bowling after our end of season banquet, I bowled a couple games 2 handed. Still came around it too quick.
I’ve been bowling for a while and just recently went from one handed (right) to two handed (left). I definitely enjoy two handed and it just makes sense to me. I wish it would be acceptable to switch from left to right so I can get that 7 pin down lol.
I'm one-handed. I've tried 2-handed, but I can't quite figure out how to do the approach in any sort of fluid motion, so I just kinda walked up to the line and tossed it from there. It just feels completely unnatural to me for whatever reason, but I definitely see why it's popular. I can throw a hook one handed with a conventional grip alright, but I have no real consistency with it.
I don't get it in bowling I'm seeing everyone else butting so much hook and playing deep inside but I can't get my ball to hook to the head pin from 3 rd arrow I hate this I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do and the ball just doesn't hook in the slightest help me I hate this I'm using a reality game breaker 4 and others on a house shot
Ive tried both, like two handed more. Weirdly enough i throw 18mph one handed and 15.5-16.5 two handed unlike most two handers it seems they throw faster with 2 😂. I just find two handed much more comfortable, much easier to stay underneath the ball for me and generate controllable hook
I’ve bowled one handed my whole life but I went with my friend who bowls two handed last week. After trying out two handed it felt weird, but I was able to hook and my wrist didn’t hurt at all for once even though his ball is 3lbs heavier. I definitely want to practice two handed more.
I currently a 1 handed bowler. I started 1 handed when I was about 8 and was committed to bowling. I was not getting the speed and curve that I was thinking, this got me really mad and then I started to mess around with my form and how I threw the ball. I accidentally found 2 handed bowling and I found that I was getting quick and better results. Then I hit a Plato, I started to look up why and found a tutorial and fix my form, I figured that I needed to move left and throw more of an angle then I did before form 1 handed bowling. Now I am 11 and have became a way better bowler and bowled my first 250 last Sunday I think if you and young and don’t feel confident and comfortable 1 handed bowling you should try 2 handed bowling.
I bowled one handed for years. I didn’t pick up bowling again until a few years ago. My shoulder started giving me issues so I switched to two hand a little over a year ago and it felt great. I shoot all my spares two handed for consistency and use a plastic ball. Works great and my 10 pins are no problem.
I cannot coordinate arms with steps/legs trying two handed. AND most I watch are very herky jerky and get down quite low. Best person I would continue to try to mimic is Chris Via. Much much Smoother!!!
more two handed tips please. i’ve been a 2 handed since i was 4 but i bowled lefty with no fingers in the whole until i was 12. i picked bowling back up a year ago and i’m now 18 and have started bowling righty with two fingers. i love these vids they’re so helpful
I'm generally around a 210 average when bowling 1 handed, switched to 2 handed at the end of last season as I felt I was pretty capped at what I was capable of 1 handed. I'm a pretty low rev player and feel I struggled on oily lanes getting any movement at big tournaments, where with a normal house shot I was alright. I also switch to two handed as a new challenge and it makes bowling more fun for me trying to learn something new. I shot about 531 week 1 of bowling this year, then shot 675 week 2 prebowling. Had my new high 2 handed game of 248 and shot like 212 and 217 my other. Looking forward to the challenge of getting better 2 handed and hoping to average 200 by the end of the year!
I’m 65 and starting to get arthritis in my fingers , been bowling since I was 5, I thought I would switch to two handed this week or at least try it to see if this helps, your video was real helpful, any other suggestions I would be appreciated. Thank you!
I’ve been a one handed high rev bowler my entire life but have always questioned two handed bowling….. i’ve seen guys who are trash bowlers because overnight better bowlers in a month…. and it makes me question is in some way 2 handed bowling cheating?
I have bounced around TWICE. I started one hand when just casually bowling, I transitioned into two-handed when I figured out how to make more hook and was intrigued by the uniqueness of the style and even started my first league two-handed. Surprisingly, I went back to one handed but thumbless based off a dare from my bowling buddy. I found more balance, more control and still the same hook potential as a two-hander and was inspired by Tom Daugherty.
I am a two handed bowler,this year would be my sixth year in bowling,before this i was a single handed bowler but something terrible happen in my fourth year where i Injured my thumb severely,i wasnt able to play properly with single handed bowling and i lost my sponsorship,i cried a lot but my mother comforted me(thx mom) and here i am,being a two handed bowler,so for the beginners,please treat your thumb well :) or youll end up like me
Thank you!! I just tried 2 handed yesterday and the kid that helped me(he is oneyear older than me) sent me this. I tried 2 handed because when I would throw 1 handed, it would burn my fingers on the release. With two handed, it seemed like my shots were more consistent.
So I just started my first bowling league ever and have always bowled with two fingers at first I was not really using both my hands. I could not really grasp how to release the ball for consistency and this video step by step really helped me out. Right after watching it I was able to go to league and used what I learned from here and hit above my average for all three games. Thank you very much for this!
I bowl 2 handed but i like to pick up single pin spares with a plastic ball one handed because its easer to throw straight at lets say a 9 10 or 6 witch I would not be able to make 2 handed.
I’m weird I bowl everything like a 2 handed bowler but I don’t use the second hand and when I try and go full 2 hand I hook way too much and can ride the gutter feet from the pins and go in the other gutter
@@deadpolymers3416 this is good to hear. I’m 42 and a solid bowling but have been slumping this year and dealing with hand pain. Just tired of the thumb and drill and pain. I’m fairly athletic so I think I can do it quickly. The game knowledge should carry over for a quick switch I hope. Not to mention cheaper and easier drills lol. Question thou did you have all your balls redone or get one and just slowly convert or is it best to just go all in?
So I’ve been bowling for a few months two handed now and my grandfather and I are wondering if you are supposed to use your left hand to spin the ball or just the right? He doesn’t know much about two handed bowling.
I've been a 1 handed bowler for years(no thumb).My highest book average was 188. I was told by the anchorman on my last team to try 2 handed bowling. At first,my average took a tumble.By the seventh week of 2 handed bowling,my average started to rise. Last week,during league bowling,I managed to average 193 for the night(196,166,218).I am 3 months away from my 62nd birthday,and quite athletic.
just switched from one hand to two hands last week I broke my thumb and its such an awkward shape that it hurts to bowl now i also took a whole year off to heal super painful still
I started bowling ~3.5 years ago and for the first 1.5 years I bowled 1 handed and switched to 2 handed 2 years ago. Sometimes during practice I would try out a few shots 2 handed and joked about switching to 2 handed. One day I decided to make the switch but still decided to shoot my spares 1 handed because I can’t get my spare ball to go straight enough. Right now I am switching to shooting my spares 2 handed so that I have 1 consistent way of releasing the ball instead of 2 totally different ways. The reason I switched was because bowling 2 handed I get more hook and revs and I could barely hook the ball 1 handed and maybe a little bit because of Belmo.
I actually started 2 handed when I was little because the pro shop didn't have drills small enough for my little fingers lol. But at the time 2 handed bowling was treated more as a handicap for little kids like me. Around age seven I was "moved up" to one handed bowling and I've been there since.
I just started bowling recently, I've been bowling 2 handed since I started. It just feels way more natural to me. But I bowl two handed with thumb which doesn't seem to be that common
Started bowling two handed a week and a half ago. My previous average was around 90, right now it's 120.25! My new overall highscore is 175 now as well.
Holy. You are identical to me currently I was averaging 108 with a high of 173 now I average 126 and high of 182 I'm on my 5th trip of bowling self learning 2 handed and my wrists and forearms thank me lol
I have never bowled two handed until about 3 months ago and I am 15. I now average around a 210 compared to the 80-90 range bowling one handed before. Practice helps the most!
@@aidenjaxlol Dumbest response I've ever heard. 1-handers always butt-hurt bc a new technique emerged with astounding success and they are pissed bc the 1-handed game took them so long to get good at. Even amongst 1-handers, there are profoundly different styles, and none would be considered the "easy way out" just bc they're different. Dick Fosbury was roundly criticized when he brought about the "Fosbury Flop" in high-jumping. Belmo heard people laugh at him and criticize him even in his youth when he was developing his 2-handed game. They laughed right up until he started kicking all their asses and setting one PBA record after another, and that continues to this day. 2-handers aren't successful bc they are taking performance enhancers. Your comparison to steroids is downright ignorant. Everything a 1-hander has to learn and concentrate on, a 2-hander does too. It's just different. Finally, if being a 2-hander was some automatic cheat code that makes all of them so much better, then they'd win every single time. As has been the case this year and many in the past, that ain't happening all the time. Belmo is amazing, as is Simo, but just look at how long Norm Duke was dominant or at what Tackett is doing this season. After years of observing and contemplating my feelings about bowling styles (I've been on both sides), I decided that telling somebody which style he chooses to utilize is either right or wrong, good or bad, or anything of the sort is kinda like telling a man how to drink his whiskey.....just don't do it and stay in your lane. Mind your own damned business and enjoy it in whichever way suits you most (unless you put coke in a really nice small batch bourbon.....that's just rude).
I’m switching to two handed this year due to a previous thumb injury that’s coming back to haunt me 🥺. Finally averaging 190+ and BOOM thumb hurts every time I bowl. Time to start fresh to continue doing what I love 💯
Hey, the spare challenges is bigger with shiny spare balls. The spareballs hook to late, and creates so much more problem than it should. Strange Pros dont tell the manufactures this and create different balls to avoid hooking so late.
Im making the switch to two handed as well due to the fear of my thumb getting stuck again and dragging me into the lane lol kinda embarrasing but now two handed ill never have that fear again
Not necessarily. There are unique styles for both 2 handed and 1 handed bowling. Some generate more torque on the knees, some less. It’s all based on athletic ability
I'm a very large guy but never liked the feel of a heavy house ball with the huge holes, and the lighter ones didn't fit my hands at all. I couldn't get my hand underneath a house ball to generate any revs or hook whatsoever. Switching to two hands let me get comfortable using balls 14+ lbs and I just threw my first ever 200 game a week or so after switching to two hands. It was like my 3rd or 4th outing trying it. Before that my best game was maybe 117. I'm mind blown by the improvements it's made to my game. I was bowling straight, doing badly, and hurting my hand in the process. Now my hand hurts a good deal less and I'm bowling almost 100 over my straight scores. I'm sure if I had a coach I could have figured one handed bowling out eventually, but this is just so much more intuitive for me as a self taught bowler who just picked up the sport. I'm having a blast now and can't stay away from the alley lol.
I am a speed dominant 1 handed bowler currently trying to become a 2 handed bowler. I've been bowling for 11 years, and have recently started bowling on a few sport patterns. The reason I want to make this switch is simply because I have to play a very finite and direct line on even modified house shots dispite trying everything I can to put revs on the ball. I've gotten better with my accuracy 2 handed, but my ball speed is really slow (about 14 to 15 mph while 1 handed is 16 to 18 mph), so I have to find a way to increase ball speed so I don't have to loft the gutter woth my weakest ball on a house shot
In the 60's, 70's, 80's or 90's, anyone who came in to the bowling houses where I bowled and bowled 2 handed would have found themselves tossed in the back dumpster!!
I bowl both 2 hand and one hand. I find my one hand more consistent hitting lines and my 2 hand is somewhat consistent when hitting lines, I have better control over rpm and rotation angle.
I'm a rev-dominant 2 hander using a fingertip grip without inserts. Would changing to a semi-fingertip grip WITH inserts help cut down on some of the revs and also get a small bump in ball speed? Would I need to add more "reverse" to my pitches if I went semi-fingertip? Thank you for posting this video!
Put inserting your fingers deeper into the bowling ball, the longer your hand will stay in the ball upon release. Personally when I try the fingertip grip, I lose the amount of rev rate. By putting my fingers slightly deeper passed the first knuckle, I feel more comfortable gripping the ball, and it allows me to have a bit more control all throughout the approach. You wouldn't have to add more "reverse" to your pitches. The most important part of hand position is trying to lay your dominant hand as flat as possible to cover the most amount of the ball as possible.
@@jrproshop Thanks for the quick response and the advice. I think I will try getting my fingers deeper in the ball. To start, I'll experiment by opening up the holes in one of my older balls and see if my control improves.
so i just started 2 handed because i could never get enough hook with one handed and was just all over the place…got a 14lb tropical surge from my pro shop and definitely hook a lot better now but i’m struggling with hooking to early instead of hitting that 1/3 pocket majority of the time i brooklyn strike or get 1 spare…but overall better than i was ever doing 1 handed lol.
New to 2 handed bowling. Can't maintain a repeatable a hook 1 handed due to shoulder injury. Does adjusting hand position for more or less hook change your PAP? Have a ball that I'm starting with with just a base layout but can't seem to figure out my PAP for future balls. It seems to me that the difference in rotation should affect where the PAP is. Also think I need to change the layout on current Tropic Breeze, get a lot of hook with little pin carry. Think I need a weaker layout for it.
@@jrproshop thanks, it seems like oil track stays the same so that makes sense. Think I need to have current Strom tropical breeze redrilled for a weaker layout. Can't seem to not hit Brooklyn even throwing from the left gutter breaking around the 5 board.
One-handed, I've tried two hands but I can't get speed on it, bowling with one hand I usually through 17mph depending on the situation ofc. But on two hands I can't even get over 14 mph, ball then overhooks with the more revs and then goes in the left gutter, no matter how left I am
I started 1 hand bowling back in HS. However my coach back then told me go heavy weights so he encouraged me to get a 15/16LB bowling ball. At the time I probably weighed 105lbs always had a trouble throwing the balls due to my wrist breaking. One day my buddies and I were hanging out at the lanes having fun and we all started 2 hand bowling. I then realized that I was seeing so much more hook that my bowling balls have never done before. I stuck with 1 hand bowling but then took a break. 6 years later and still having the same issue with my wrist breaking. For fun I 2handed bowled and still saw an improvement I decided to stick with 2 hand bowling and I feel that was the move! Still learning and improving!
Bowled one handed from kid to adult, but after 15yrs away and an unsuccessful return due to injury (golfer's elbow... from baseball:/) I was about to give up on bowling. Through watching guys like Belmo and Simonsen tear up the PBA, the good Lord revealed to me that bowling with 2-hands is indeed... too legit to quit! Spent some months in my living room copying some pro's approaches, made the switch and started back in a league. 18 games in, pain free, and enjoying the sport again! Not as smooth and buttery as the pros, but accuracy is coming around and the average is starting to creep up. Oh, and if you like watching pin decks explode 2-handed is for you... #pinaction!
I'm 47, and bowled 1-hand righty from the ages of 4 - 42. Then went to 1-hand lefty due to a right wrist injury... back to 1-hand righty after 2 years... then 2-hand lefty after 1 year when the right wrist began hurting again. I've done a little bit of everything.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good ball for two handing? Im just starting out myself. I got a 15lb ball traditionally drilled and started with one handing it. Didn't fill like I had much control over the ball. Took my thumb out and started two handing it and my overall body feels much better. I want to get a new ball without the thumb drilled.
I'm fairly verse when it comes to my bowling. I'm slowly but surely getting better but when I bowl for strikes I do two handed, but when I bowl spares I do one handed.
I started two hand bowling about two years ago. I use to bowl one hand with no thumb. I found it hard on my wrist. I saw Belmo on TV and instantly changed. At first people made fun of me. My game has developed since starting and I now get alot of respect. Thank you for the awesome video!!
I've been bowling one handed all my life and I try to do two handed but it didn't work out hopefully I'm gonna go back to this video again to rethink it
I started one handed with thumb, and was woeful. i couldn't clear my thumb in time and I couldn't throw it straight to save my life. My friend showed me two handed without the thumb, and i still couldn't get my left hand off in time. Then I used the best of both worlds- one handed with no thumb... And this is what i am using now, so much better and so much more control
I started 2 handed almost 2.5 years ago but before I was 1 my max was 171 with a 9 pound but now that I'm 2 handed my high is 232 and i won my state championship
I started bowling in mid-70s before the two-handed was in style. I stopped bowling for about 36 yrs, then started again 5 yrs ago using a one handed with my right hand. How difficult is it to convert from one hand to two hands at my later age of early 70? I bowl in a league for pleasure and would like to try the two hands to see if I could improve my current 165 average. Thanks for showing the basics of the two handed bowling and the pro and con of it. Any advise for older folks, to switch or not to switch?
Thanks for this video! I recently got into bowling seriously, and have been trying to tune my 2-handed game, and after watching this video, my releases have been more consistent and comfortable than before. More vids of Jimoo please!
I’m 15, and I’ve really been getting into bowling for roughly 6 months, but I’ve been told that I’ve came along a lot faster than most people, and I have a pretty good release. I’m on a bowling team, and I was told that if I can get more practice in, I can beat my teammates that have been on the team for almost 5 years. This can really help me. I’m a two-hander,and I’ve tried one-handed before, and it didn’t work out, which is why I’m where I’m at now 😁
I have been bowling since four and at that time I bowled two handed. At 6 through 10, I was bowling one handed until I was at North Carolina to see some family and my dad told me to bowl two handed again. After that I have become a much better bowler at the age of thirteen and slowly working on getting more consistent
Used to bowl one handed, but never could get the ball to hook, but then had a wrist injury that made me transition to two handed, and it feels comfortable, so I just stuck with this style.
I bowl 2 handed as a left handed bowler I bowl 2 handed for awhile now and it helps me out lot I use 15 ponder bowling balls but I did started one handed but 2 handed helped me get better with one handed I work mostly on my speed and I bowl one handed just for fun
im two handed for the same reason hahaha not strong enough to do one hand. ive done one hand a few times for fun with house balls only to get those single 10pins haahha i would love to learn one hand in the future. thank you for this vid for two handers! im forsure still working on versatility, especially for hand positions
Just gave two-handed bowling after coming back to the sport about 15 years later. Really enjoyed it. Getting a new ball drilled and was wondering if inserts are still used for this style. Still working my way through the best ball to start with. Have had Ebonite Big Time and Jaguar in the bag for years….yeah, it’s been a while. Lol.
Since I’m off on Tuesday and I usually go bowling on Tuesday for the Tuesday special, which is $2.50 per game, I’m planning to try doing two handed. I can do it but I rarely do it and do see that I’m more precise with my aim when I do decide to do it I always forget on how my body should be positioned. Plus, I’m planning to take my sweet time Bowling. My highest at the end of 2023 year was 220 and that’s with using one hand. How would I have position myself to do two-handed? Should my body be facing the pins or should I have my body slightly angle when I’m doing it? I am planning to be able to do it both ways . using two handed method if I need to be more accurate on my aiming
Growing up I started out one handed but without the thumb like Tom Daugherty. Then when I got more into bowling and got out of using house balls I tried doing one handed with the thumb. I kept practicing but wasn't getting comfortable or getting the RPM's I wanted. So that's when my cousins convinced me to do two handed since I was used to no thumb. I found to be more consistent the more I practiced and was getting more revolutions using two handed. Thank you for this breakdown video, definitely found this very helpful!
I one handed all my life my first 8 years of bowling as a kid, now im 15 and i switched to 2 handing after my thumb kept on getting ripped apart, and my coaches know nothing about how to 2 hand, thank you so much.
I’m a one handed bowler and always have been. I tried two handed a couple of years ago and about killed myself 😂. It’s that transition step that does it. Went back to one handed but may try two handed with my thumb in it and see what happens.
I’m getting back into the sport after not bowling for years. I had torn the bicep of my bowling arm. Even after surgery, my arm is still not 100%. I was so glad to recently learn about two handed bowling. Thanks for your videos, very helpful!
i only use my ring finger and pinky finger when rolling it two handed. My pointer finger and middle finger helps it rotate to the left counterclockwise until it gets traction down the lane. However even tho I can hook it! I still need to figure out what plank to roll it on (I usually do it on the side of the lane but idk about center direction) and how to (I usually just rush forward) move forward without losing momentum. My ball is nice 10lbs Brunswick Twist ball with its glittering silver and blue swirl. My ball is specific to me because im a fast paced bowler and the pro shop person took notes of that.
I’m two handed. I started last year. Tried bowling one handed to start and could generate hook. I’m 30. My buddies told me if they were just starting they would do two handed so I did. Just shot 654 for my best night ever last night. Your videos helped me understand bowling a lot. Appreciate it.
Same here, im 15 and also do the two handed. My dad thinks its wierd but i got a 691 at league the otherday so i think its fine 😂
Do you guys have any tips to increase ball speed without changing weight?
@@porkisthebestmeat8955 move your feet back on the approach and speed up your approach towards the foul line. This can help increase ball speed
@@K0WA1SK1 ok thank you
@@K0WA1SK1 any tips for sore arms or do I have to just fix my timing. My arms are sore after only like 3 or 2 games.
I started one-handed when I was in high school and into college. Didn't play from college to this last summer(15ish years later). A couple hockey related injuries made it so two-handed is my new bowling style. Absolutely loving it! Your reviews, tips, and joy in the sport has been wonderful to watch and learn from.
Was one handed, thumbless the first 20 years of my life. Had a real bad injury to my dominant wrist and couldn't use one hand due to very limited Range of Motion and overall less wrist strength that I couldn't get back. Went two-handed, sucked for about a year, something finally clicked half-way through my first league. Now I am consistently in the top of our league against some very high scratch bowlers. Wish I would've learned initially as a kid, maybe I would be on TV already if I did. xD
Keep shooting this kind of informative content in this channel! The spare drill is also important for two-handed bowlers too. Hope this kind of content will assist more bowlers in the world. Love you guys!
I’ve been a one hander my whole life, although I tried two-handed a few times at the end of my practice days. My high game with two hands is a 240 game. It definitely isn’t as easy as it looks.
it’s definitely easier to hook the ball.
Great info!!! Just the video I was looking for. After a 40+ yr layoff (i am almost 70), I came back to bowling about 2 months ago. Back then I threw finger tip, bowled on leagues and had about 175-180 avg. Now, after 2 months I went from about 125 up to 170 avg. I am getting 50% strikes but my spares need more improvement. I am using a 14# ball bc i don't have the strength to throw a 15 or 16# ball. Watching my practice vids i can see my wrist is open way before the bottom of my swing. A I was wondering which way to go....- drop down to a 13#, or try 2 handed? My second question would be hard to answer definitively but just a rough guess: in my situation about how long do you think it would take for me to learn 2 handed, weeks? months? or don't even try it bc you can't teach old dogs new tricks 😀😀
Tried 2 handed...felt lot more comfortable but the foot work... horrible can't get the hoppy thing down
I was 1 handed for like 30 years, just had to switch to 2 hands, due to thumb issues. Love the videos guys keep it up.
Kudos
@@ronkoontz8976 Not sure if you'll get this message, since it's been a while since you posted it. I have the same issue with my thumb. I was wondering how it's going, how are you bowling. Do you recommend two handed? I've been a one hander for decades.
I have bowled one handed for 30 years. After seeing a friend of mine try two handed, I watch a ton of videos, including this one, to understand how it works. Things I struggle with are keeping the shoulder down, speed (only 14mph) and keeping the ball close to my body and ankle on release. I love this video and all it has to offer!
Started one-handed, then I bought my first reactive ball. Got my thumb stuck a few times in it, trying to get used to my new ball. I threw my ball in the air few times because of it and once in the alley next to me. Was so embarassed...
Then I try one hand but with no thumb. It was difficult for me to control the hook as I put too much hook and not enough speed + it hursts my wrist after several games.
This is why I am now playing 2 handed, which works better for me. But I still struggle with the speed : too much hook, not enough speed. I'll try to accelerate my approach like Jimoo is suggesting.
Thanks a lot for the video ! Very helpful !
As a one handed Southpaw all my life, 52, started bowling at 6, or 7 years old. I have to mention that, the demonstration of the one hand throw, is no way accurate for the way a one handed bowler would have a release like that. Especially one who has been bowling for years.
A better demonstration would be to get a one handed bowler, with a good release, then compare it to a two handed bowler.
Most every child starts bowling two handed.
By far the best two handed video! Thanks!
I’m 67, cannot stop topping the ball no matter what I try.
During open bowling after our end of season banquet, I bowled a couple games 2 handed. Still came around it too quick.
I’ve been bowling for a while and just recently went from one handed (right) to two handed (left). I definitely enjoy two handed and it just makes sense to me.
I wish it would be acceptable to switch from left to right so I can get that 7 pin down lol.
I'm one-handed. I've tried 2-handed, but I can't quite figure out how to do the approach in any sort of fluid motion, so I just kinda walked up to the line and tossed it from there. It just feels completely unnatural to me for whatever reason, but I definitely see why it's popular. I can throw a hook one handed with a conventional grip alright, but I have no real consistency with it.
I’m going to try 2 handed ,I’m 74 and in good condition ,this will be interesting..thanks for the good video.
I don’t know why I’m watching this since I’m one handed but hey who cares
I don't get it in bowling I'm seeing everyone else butting so much hook and playing deep inside but I can't get my ball to hook to the head pin from 3 rd arrow I hate this I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do and the ball just doesn't hook in the slightest help me I hate this I'm using a reality game breaker 4 and others on a house shot
Ive tried both, like two handed more. Weirdly enough i throw 18mph one handed and 15.5-16.5 two handed unlike most two handers it seems they throw faster with 2 😂. I just find two handed much more comfortable, much easier to stay underneath the ball for me and generate controllable hook
I’ve bowled one handed my whole life but I went with my friend who bowls two handed last week. After trying out two handed it felt weird, but I was able to hook and my wrist didn’t hurt at all for once even though his ball is 3lbs heavier. I definitely want to practice two handed more.
I currently a 1 handed bowler. I started 1 handed when I was about 8 and was committed to bowling. I was not getting the speed and curve that I was thinking, this got me really mad and then I started to mess around with my form and how I threw the ball. I accidentally found 2 handed bowling and I found that I was getting quick and better results. Then I hit a Plato, I started to look up why and found a tutorial and fix my form, I figured that I needed to move left and throw more of an angle then I did before form 1 handed bowling. Now I am 11 and have became a way better bowler and bowled my first 250 last Sunday I think if you and young and don’t feel confident and comfortable 1 handed bowling you should try 2 handed bowling.
I bowled one handed for years. I didn’t pick up bowling again until a few years ago. My shoulder started giving me issues so I switched to two hand a little over a year ago and it felt great. I shoot all my spares two handed for consistency and use a plastic ball. Works great and my 10 pins are no problem.
I cannot coordinate arms with steps/legs trying two handed. AND most I watch are very herky jerky and get down quite low. Best person I would continue to try to mimic is Chris Via. Much much Smoother!!!
more two handed tips please. i’ve been a 2 handed since i was 4 but i bowled lefty with no fingers in the whole until i was 12. i picked bowling back up a year ago and i’m now 18 and have started bowling righty with two fingers. i love these vids they’re so helpful
I'm generally around a 210 average when bowling 1 handed, switched to 2 handed at the end of last season as I felt I was pretty capped at what I was capable of 1 handed. I'm a pretty low rev player and feel I struggled on oily lanes getting any movement at big tournaments, where with a normal house shot I was alright. I also switch to two handed as a new challenge and it makes bowling more fun for me trying to learn something new. I shot about 531 week 1 of bowling this year, then shot 675 week 2 prebowling. Had my new high 2 handed game of 248 and shot like 212 and 217 my other. Looking forward to the challenge of getting better 2 handed and hoping to average 200 by the end of the year!
I’m 65 and starting to get arthritis in my fingers , been bowling since I was 5, I thought I would switch to two handed this week or at least try it to see if this helps, your video was real helpful, any other suggestions I would be appreciated. Thank you!
I’ve been a one handed high rev bowler my entire life but have always questioned two handed bowling….. i’ve seen guys who are trash bowlers because overnight better bowlers in a month…. and it makes me question is in some way 2 handed bowling cheating?
I have bounced around TWICE. I started one hand when just casually bowling, I transitioned into two-handed when I figured out how to make more hook and was intrigued by the uniqueness of the style and even started my first league two-handed. Surprisingly, I went back to one handed but thumbless based off a dare from my bowling buddy. I found more balance, more control and still the same hook potential as a two-hander and was inspired by Tom Daugherty.
I am a two handed bowler,this year would be my sixth year in bowling,before this i was a single handed bowler but something terrible happen in my fourth year where i Injured my thumb severely,i wasnt able to play properly with single handed bowling and i lost my sponsorship,i cried a lot but my mother comforted me(thx mom) and here i am,being a two handed bowler,so for the beginners,please treat your thumb well :) or youll end up like me
Im Onehanded but Yesterday i try Twohanded and its so nice! i will bowl Twohanded
Thank you!! I just tried 2 handed yesterday and the kid that helped me(he is oneyear older than me) sent me this. I tried 2 handed because when I would throw 1 handed, it would burn my fingers on the release. With two handed, it seemed like my shots were more consistent.
So I just started my first bowling league ever and have always bowled with two fingers at first I was not really using both my hands. I could not really grasp how to release the ball for consistency and this video step by step really helped me out. Right after watching it I was able to go to league and used what I learned from here and hit above my average for all three games. Thank you very much for this!
I started 1 handed now I bowl 2 handed when I try 1 handed it hurts my hand lol
Everyone saying how they switched to 2handed and is doing way better. Just shows that 2 handed is easier
I bowl 2 handed but i like to pick up single pin spares with a plastic ball one handed because its easer to throw straight at lets say a 9 10 or 6 witch I would not be able to make 2 handed.
I’m weird I bowl everything like a 2 handed bowler but I don’t use the second hand and when I try and go full 2 hand I hook way too much and can ride the gutter feet from the pins and go in the other gutter
The first one with one handed was on his 4th take
He struck 3 in a row !
I'm over 40... I've always bowled one handed, but because of this video, I might try it during the holidays!
I switched to 2 hand at 46, and am having success. You’ll be fine… just give it some time.
@@deadpolymers3416 this is good to hear. I’m 42 and a solid bowling but have been slumping this year and dealing with hand pain. Just tired of the thumb and drill and pain. I’m fairly athletic so I think I can do it quickly. The game knowledge should carry over for a quick switch I hope. Not to mention cheaper and easier drills lol.
Question thou did you have all your balls redone or get one and just slowly convert or is it best to just go all in?
1 hand no thumb bowler here. Having control over consistent release and rev plays a big factor for me.
I throw 2 handed but I tried 1 handed I hurt my wrist bad so I went to 11lb I still wasn’t good I kept guttering. I’m just weak 2 handed is better
So I’ve been bowling for a few months two handed now and my grandfather and I are wondering if you are supposed to use your left hand to spin the ball or just the right? He doesn’t know much about two handed bowling.
One hand, the second hand is to help assist the first hand to the point of release; The release itself is one handed.
I've been a 1 handed bowler for years(no thumb).My highest book average was 188. I was told by the anchorman on my last team to try 2 handed bowling. At first,my average took a tumble.By the seventh week of 2 handed bowling,my average started to rise. Last week,during league bowling,I managed to average 193 for the night(196,166,218).I am 3 months away from my 62nd birthday,and quite athletic.
just switched from one hand to two hands last week I broke my thumb and its such an awkward shape that it hurts to bowl now i also took a whole year off to heal super painful still
I started bowling ~3.5 years ago and for the first 1.5 years I bowled 1 handed and switched to 2 handed 2 years ago.
Sometimes during practice I would try out a few shots 2 handed and joked about switching to 2 handed. One day I decided to make the switch but still decided to shoot my spares 1 handed because I can’t get my spare ball to go straight enough. Right now I am switching to shooting my spares 2 handed so that I have 1 consistent way of releasing the ball instead of 2 totally different ways.
The reason I switched was because bowling 2 handed I get more hook and revs and I could barely hook the ball 1 handed and maybe a little bit because of Belmo.
I actually started 2 handed when I was little because the pro shop didn't have drills small enough for my little fingers lol. But at the time 2 handed bowling was treated more as a handicap for little kids like me. Around age seven I was "moved up" to one handed bowling and I've been there since.
I just started bowling recently, I've been bowling 2 handed since I started. It just feels way more natural to me.
But I bowl two handed with thumb which doesn't seem to be that common
Ur hair is same as trunks from Dbz . U should dye it white
Started bowling two handed a week and a half ago.
My previous average was around 90, right now it's 120.25! My new overall highscore is 175 now as well.
Holy. You are identical to me currently I was averaging 108 with a high of 173 now I average 126 and high of 182 I'm on my 5th trip of bowling self learning 2 handed and my wrists and forearms thank me lol
I have never bowled two handed until about 3 months ago and I am 15. I now average around a 210 compared to the 80-90 range bowling one handed before. Practice helps the most!
Just shows that's 2 handed is easier smh everyone taking the easy way out.
@@aidenjaxlol why would you limit yourself if you’re trying to win?
@@harrisonfithian9397 same reason I don't use steroids when I work out. It's the easy way out.
@@aidenjaxlol if it was the easy way out there wouldn’t be so much more moving parts to the shot making it much harder to perfect than 1 hand
@@aidenjaxlol Dumbest response I've ever heard. 1-handers always butt-hurt bc a new technique emerged with astounding success and they are pissed bc the 1-handed game took them so long to get good at. Even amongst 1-handers, there are profoundly different styles, and none would be considered the "easy way out" just bc they're different. Dick Fosbury was roundly criticized when he brought about the "Fosbury Flop" in high-jumping. Belmo heard people laugh at him and criticize him even in his youth when he was developing his 2-handed game. They laughed right up until he started kicking all their asses and setting one PBA record after another, and that continues to this day. 2-handers aren't successful bc they are taking performance enhancers. Your comparison to steroids is downright ignorant. Everything a 1-hander has to learn and concentrate on, a 2-hander does too. It's just different. Finally, if being a 2-hander was some automatic cheat code that makes all of them so much better, then they'd win every single time. As has been the case this year and many in the past, that ain't happening all the time. Belmo is amazing, as is Simo, but just look at how long Norm Duke was dominant or at what Tackett is doing this season. After years of observing and contemplating my feelings about bowling styles (I've been on both sides), I decided that telling somebody which style he chooses to utilize is either right or wrong, good or bad, or anything of the sort is kinda like telling a man how to drink his whiskey.....just don't do it and stay in your lane. Mind your own damned business and enjoy it in whichever way suits you most (unless you put coke in a really nice small batch bourbon.....that's just rude).
I converted from 1 handed to 2 handed after averaging 130 and new pb of 206 2handed.
I’m switching to two handed this year due to a previous thumb injury that’s coming back to haunt me 🥺. Finally averaging 190+ and BOOM thumb hurts every time I bowl. Time to start fresh to continue doing what I love 💯
Hey, the spare challenges is bigger with shiny spare balls. The spareballs hook to late, and creates so much more problem than it should.
Strange Pros dont tell the manufactures this and create different balls to avoid hooking so late.
thats why u get a plastic ball for spares
Im making the switch to two handed as well due to the fear of my thumb getting stuck again and dragging me into the lane lol kinda embarrasing but now two handed ill never have that fear again
2Hander CONS: would you guys say it puts more Stress on your sliding Knee? (More prone to knee injury) than 1 handed?
Not necessarily. There are unique styles for both 2 handed and 1 handed bowling. Some generate more torque on the knees, some less. It’s all based on athletic ability
I'm a very large guy but never liked the feel of a heavy house ball with the huge holes, and the lighter ones didn't fit my hands at all. I couldn't get my hand underneath a house ball to generate any revs or hook whatsoever. Switching to two hands let me get comfortable using balls 14+ lbs and I just threw my first ever 200 game a week or so after switching to two hands. It was like my 3rd or 4th outing trying it. Before that my best game was maybe 117. I'm mind blown by the improvements it's made to my game. I was bowling straight, doing badly, and hurting my hand in the process. Now my hand hurts a good deal less and I'm bowling almost 100 over my straight scores. I'm sure if I had a coach I could have figured one handed bowling out eventually, but this is just so much more intuitive for me as a self taught bowler who just picked up the sport. I'm having a blast now and can't stay away from the alley lol.
I bowl two handed. Ive tried one hand but I look like you when I do :").
I am a speed dominant 1 handed bowler currently trying to become a 2 handed bowler. I've been bowling for 11 years, and have recently started bowling on a few sport patterns. The reason I want to make this switch is simply because I have to play a very finite and direct line on even modified house shots dispite trying everything I can to put revs on the ball. I've gotten better with my accuracy 2 handed, but my ball speed is really slow (about 14 to 15 mph while 1 handed is 16 to 18 mph), so I have to find a way to increase ball speed so I don't have to loft the gutter woth my weakest ball on a house shot
In the 60's, 70's, 80's or 90's, anyone who came in to the bowling houses where I bowled and bowled 2 handed would have found themselves tossed in the back dumpster!!
I bowl both 2 hand and one hand. I find my one hand more consistent hitting lines and my 2 hand is somewhat consistent when hitting lines, I have better control over rpm and rotation angle.
I'm a rev-dominant 2 hander using a fingertip grip without inserts. Would changing to a semi-fingertip grip WITH inserts help cut down on some of the revs and also get a small bump in ball speed? Would I need to add more "reverse" to my pitches if I went semi-fingertip? Thank you for posting this video!
Good questions. Wondering the same thing
Put inserting your fingers deeper into the bowling ball, the longer your hand will stay in the ball upon release. Personally when I try the fingertip grip, I lose the amount of rev rate. By putting my fingers slightly deeper passed the first knuckle, I feel more comfortable gripping the ball, and it allows me to have a bit more control all throughout the approach. You wouldn't have to add more "reverse" to your pitches. The most important part of hand position is trying to lay your dominant hand as flat as possible to cover the most amount of the ball as possible.
@@jrproshop Thanks for the quick response and the advice. I think I will try getting my fingers deeper in the ball. To start, I'll experiment by opening up the holes in one of my older balls and see if my control improves.
so i just started 2 handed because i could never get enough hook with one handed and was just all over the place…got a 14lb tropical surge from my pro shop and definitely hook a lot better now but i’m struggling with hooking to early instead of hitting that 1/3 pocket majority of the time i brooklyn strike or get 1 spare…but overall better than i was ever doing 1 handed lol.
Definitely going to see if transitioning will up my game. I'm a 176 average atm so I'm not that bad with the conventional type of bowling.
New to 2 handed bowling. Can't maintain a repeatable a hook 1 handed due to shoulder injury. Does adjusting hand position for more or less hook change your PAP? Have a ball that I'm starting with with just a base layout but can't seem to figure out my PAP for future balls. It seems to me that the difference in rotation should affect where the PAP is. Also think I need to change the layout on current Tropic Breeze, get a lot of hook with little pin carry. Think I need a weaker layout for it.
your pap won't change, that's a good question, you will be able to change rotation the easiest with hand position but your axis will be the same
@@jrproshop thanks, it seems like oil track stays the same so that makes sense. Think I need to have current Strom tropical breeze redrilled for a weaker layout. Can't seem to not hit Brooklyn even throwing from the left gutter breaking around the 5 board.
One-handed, I've tried two hands but I can't get speed on it, bowling with one hand I usually through 17mph depending on the situation ofc. But on two hands I can't even get over 14 mph, ball then overhooks with the more revs and then goes in the left gutter, no matter how left I am
I started 1 hand bowling back in HS. However my coach back then told me go heavy weights so he encouraged me to get a 15/16LB bowling ball. At the time I probably weighed 105lbs always had a trouble throwing the balls due to my wrist breaking. One day my buddies and I were hanging out at the lanes having fun and we all started 2 hand bowling. I then realized that I was seeing so much more hook that my bowling balls have never done before. I stuck with 1 hand bowling but then took a break. 6 years later and still having the same issue with my wrist breaking. For fun I 2handed bowled and still saw an improvement I decided to stick with 2 hand bowling and I feel that was the move! Still learning and improving!
Bowled one handed from kid to adult, but after 15yrs away and an unsuccessful return due to injury (golfer's elbow... from baseball:/) I was about to give up on bowling. Through watching guys like Belmo and Simonsen tear up the PBA, the good Lord revealed to me that bowling with 2-hands is indeed... too legit to quit! Spent some months in my living room copying some pro's approaches, made the switch and started back in a league. 18 games in, pain free, and enjoying the sport again! Not as smooth and buttery as the pros, but accuracy is coming around and the average is starting to creep up. Oh, and if you like watching pin decks explode 2-handed is for you... #pinaction!
I'm 47, and bowled 1-hand righty from the ages of 4 - 42. Then went to 1-hand lefty due to a right wrist injury... back to 1-hand righty after 2 years... then 2-hand lefty after 1 year when the right wrist began hurting again. I've done a little bit of everything.
I’m 54 bowled two handed awhile 279 high game. Now that I have a coach thinking about going back to two handed because of so much versatility
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good ball for two handing? Im just starting out myself. I got a 15lb ball traditionally drilled and started with one handing it. Didn't fill like I had much control over the ball. Took my thumb out and started two handing it and my overall body feels much better. I want to get a new ball without the thumb drilled.
Something like a raw hammer black, or roto grip hustle series would be a great place to start. Affordable and good amount of hook for the money
@@jrproshop that's awesome because I actually bought a RAW Hammer Black yesterday. Thanks for the response!
A friendly note. The instant camera switches on ball release is good for ball reviews, but not when showing technique.
Will two handed bowling help someone who is "weak wristed"? I cannot throw a consistent hook one handed.
It helps take some of the pressure off the wrist, and also makes it easier to put your wrist in the correct position.
That backswing is massive to me as a 2 hander lol.
I'm fairly verse when it comes to my bowling. I'm slowly but surely getting better but when I bowl for strikes I do two handed, but when I bowl spares I do one handed.
I started two hand bowling about two years ago. I use to bowl one hand with no thumb. I found it hard on my wrist. I saw Belmo on TV and instantly changed. At first people made fun of me. My game has developed since starting and I now get alot of respect. Thank you for the awesome video!!
I bowl 2 handed because I have shoulder problems and find being able to hold the ball with 2 hands takes a lot of the strain off my shoulders
Yeah!! I am Short too and Due to Gymnastics, have a Injury in wrist.. 2 handed bowling is really a Favorable for me. Thanks for the Explanation 👏🏼💯
2 handed is better because Jason Bel Monte is the best bowler
I've been bowling one handed all my life and I try to do two handed but it didn't work out hopefully I'm gonna go back to this video again to rethink it
Can you guys make a update it 3 balls/ 6 balls bag video for the ending add the year please
Just filmed it !!
I started one handed with thumb, and was woeful. i couldn't clear my thumb in time and I couldn't throw it straight to save my life. My friend showed me two handed without the thumb, and i still couldn't get my left hand off in time.
Then I used the best of both worlds- one handed with no thumb... And this is what i am using now, so much better and so much more control
I started 2 handed almost 2.5 years ago but before I was 1 my max was 171 with a 9 pound but now that I'm 2 handed my high is 232 and i won my state championship
I started bowling in mid-70s before the two-handed was in style. I stopped bowling for about 36 yrs, then started again 5 yrs ago using a one handed with my right hand. How difficult is it to convert from one hand to two hands at my later age of early 70? I bowl in a league for pleasure and would like to try the two hands to see if I could improve my current 165 average. Thanks for showing the basics of the two handed bowling and the pro and con of it. Any advise for older folks, to switch or not to switch?
Thanks for this video! I recently got into bowling seriously, and have been trying to tune my 2-handed game, and after watching this video, my releases have been more consistent and comfortable than before. More vids of Jimoo please!
How do i get two handed bowling videos?
I’m 15, and I’ve really been getting into bowling for roughly 6 months, but I’ve been told that I’ve came along a lot faster than most people, and I have a pretty good release. I’m on a bowling team, and I was told that if I can get more practice in, I can beat my teammates that have been on the team for almost 5 years. This can really help me. I’m a two-hander,and I’ve tried one-handed before, and it didn’t work out, which is why I’m where I’m at now 😁
I have been bowling since four and at that time I bowled two handed. At 6 through 10, I was bowling one handed until I was at North Carolina to see some family and my dad told me to bowl two handed again. After that I have become a much better bowler at the age of thirteen and slowly working on getting more consistent
Used to bowl one handed, but never could get the ball to hook, but then had a wrist injury that made me transition to two handed, and it feels comfortable, so I just stuck with this style.
I bowl 2 handed as a left handed bowler I bowl 2 handed for awhile now and it helps me out lot I use 15 ponder bowling balls but I did started one handed but 2 handed helped me get better with one handed I work mostly on my speed and I bowl one handed just for fun
If I switch again to two hands I will not get frustrated and go to one hand I will stick it out through ups and downs and dedicate to two hand
im two handed for the same reason hahaha not strong enough to do one hand. ive done one hand a few times for fun with house balls only to get those single 10pins haahha i would love to learn one hand in the future. thank you for this vid for two handers! im forsure still working on versatility, especially for hand positions
Been bowling 1 handed my whole life. Shot 846 a couple years ago. Im terrible at bowling 2 handed but I want get better at it.
Just gave two-handed bowling after coming back to the sport about 15 years later. Really enjoyed it. Getting a new ball drilled and was wondering if inserts are still used for this style. Still working my way through the best ball to start with. Have had Ebonite Big Time and Jaguar in the bag for years….yeah, it’s been a while. Lol.
Since I’m off on Tuesday and I usually go bowling on Tuesday for the Tuesday special, which is $2.50 per game, I’m planning to try doing two handed. I can do it but I rarely do it and do see that I’m more precise with my aim when I do decide to do it I always forget on how my body should be positioned.
Plus, I’m planning to take my sweet time Bowling. My highest at the end of 2023 year was 220 and that’s with using one hand.
How would I have position myself to do two-handed? Should my body be facing the pins or should I have my body slightly angle when I’m doing it?
I am planning to be able to do it both ways . using two handed method if I need to be more accurate on my aiming
Growing up I started out one handed but without the thumb like Tom Daugherty. Then when I got more into bowling and got out of using house balls I tried doing one handed with the thumb. I kept practicing but wasn't getting comfortable or getting the RPM's I wanted. So that's when my cousins convinced me to do two handed since I was used to no thumb. I found to be more consistent the more I practiced and was getting more revolutions using two handed. Thank you for this breakdown video, definitely found this very helpful!
I one handed all my life my first 8 years of bowling as a kid, now im 15 and i switched to 2 handing after my thumb kept on getting ripped apart, and my coaches know nothing about how to 2 hand, thank you so much.
I’m already a 2 finger one hander, floating around 200. Planning on switching to 2 handed with the hope of getting next level.
I’m a one handed bowler and always have been. I tried two handed a couple of years ago and about killed myself 😂. It’s that transition step that does it. Went back to one handed but may try two handed with my thumb in it and see what happens.
I’m getting back into the sport after not bowling for years. I had torn the bicep of my bowling arm. Even after surgery, my arm is still not 100%. I was so glad to recently learn about two handed bowling. Thanks for your videos, very helpful!
i only use my ring finger and pinky finger when rolling it two handed. My pointer finger and middle finger helps it rotate to the left counterclockwise until it gets traction down the lane.
However even tho I can hook it! I still need to figure out what plank to roll it on (I usually do it on the side of the lane but idk about center direction) and how to (I usually just rush forward) move forward without losing momentum.
My ball is nice 10lbs Brunswick Twist ball with its glittering silver and blue swirl. My ball is specific to me because im a fast paced bowler and the pro shop person took notes of that.
Im a two hander and use one hand for the spear balls
