I do not like to watch two handed bowlers in tv matches, the one handers have such great form and a pleasure to watch and the one handers look like hacks. i'll either look away when they bowl or change the channel.
All the women that bowl throw a 15 lb ball with one hand..... And all the guys that bowl throw it with 2... Why do you drill holes in a bowling ball ? To hold it and hang on to it. If your off hand is holding it,, no need for extra lift from those finger holes? If you have to swing it with both hands on the ball, there should be no holes in the ball for extra grip! 2 handed bowling is like doing pushups on your knees..... I've averaged over 230 years,, I have over 30 300 games and almost 30 800's and a house record of 889 at a center. Now, I watch people that have bowled for a handful of seasons,, put up numbers that took dedicated players decades to get to,, within months..... Bowling's problem started with technology boom with urethane in the 80's. If you couldn't hook the ball, like the "good" players,, they used technology to make it so you could. So the guys or girls that had that "trick" to get that ball to hook more than the other person,, they took that trick away from them, with a new ball for the other people who couldn't do it Bowling now, and for the last 30 years or so,, is consumer driven game, where the bowling ball companies dictate the game. If it was based on skill, the top scratch bowling would be done with everyone using the same ball, with the same surface on every ball. That's where true skill would come into play.
Two handed is much harder to be accurate with all that rev rate and ball speed. i bowl both ways and one handed is much easier to be accurate. Jason couch is a butt hole. without 2 handed bowling the sport would be dead. period.
It should be "thumb in" and "no thumb" rather than "one hand" vs "two hand". On Facebook, Jason Belmonte posted a picture of him bowling but his right fingers were still inside the ball with his left hand away from it with the caption "Look Mum.... 1 hand" EJ Tackett commented on the photo stating this: "You know I’ve had many arguments with folks about this exact thing and my point is where is the statute of limitations? Technically I start with 2 hands on the ball too and my left hand just comes off the ball earlier than yours does. So are we all 2 handed or we all 1 handed? 🧐😎 out of current players I know of Breanna Clemmer is technically the only true 1 hander since her entire delivery start to finish only has 1 hand on the ball. So, just bowl in a way you can enjoy the game and gives you the best results!!"
I remember when throwing with 2 hands was illegal…and you can’t say it doesn’t have advantages when the kid who started in high school, throwing with 2 hands was on the PBA tour and almost winning within 4 years
Two handed bowling is illegal - in my not so humble opinion - because the thumbhole isn't used (or drilled into the ball). PBA rules required a bowling ball to have two fingerholes and one thumbhole. Nobody thought to add any language about using the thumbhole because it was understood that it would be used. It's kind of like me handing you a pair of shoes - must I tell you to tie the laces when you put them on? Well, the precedent was set when Mike Miller didn't use his thumbhole on a telecast. He even shot 300 swinging the ball this way, without the use of his other hand. It isn't bowling and never should have been allowed. Thanks for listening.
I'm a one hander and I've learned something from two handed bowlers that actually made me better because they remove the traditional approach but finish the same
Technically, the ball is released using only one hand by the so-called two-handers. The other hand supports the cradling of the ball until it is released on the downward swing. A two-handed release will require both hands to roll the ball, but that is not the case. Hence, all bowlers are one-handers.
Honeslty from what I saw over the year is some start 2 handed specially kids if for the big hook cause it looks cool. But I tried it and it's not easy. Plus I don't like the restrictive feel. Bowling 1 handed I can flow and take my time to the line.
Could Belmo or Simo win one handed? First prove you can win one handed before going to two handed bowling! This craze has reshaped how bowling was suppose to be! Because of two handed, even ball drilling has changed! Everyone wants to win like Belmo & Simo, that's why they go two handed! More revs, more hook power!
You can't use 2 hands to spin in Foose ball. It's obvious they are getting twice the revs. Should be banned! Not impressed! Oh wait the Yankees just signed a 2 handed pitcher! I made the hall of fame the real way! Beat Norm Duke the real way in 1994. I was 14. Bob Benoit style is acceptable, and Tom D is acceptable. No more kangaroo hoping! Greatest bowler in the world is not Belmo!
Osku made the US Open show in 2004, his first TV Show was not in 2008. The guy you were thinking of from the FloBowling documentary is Chuck Lande. Jason Belmonte did not win the 2010 Tournament of champions, that was Kelly Kulick, and did not win the 2011 US Open, that was Norm Duke. Belmonte also was not the first player to win back to back POY. Walter has 3 peated in the 90s. He also did not win POY in 2016, that was EJ Tackett. and EJ Tackett did not win POY in 2018, that was Andrew Anderson. Osku did not win the WBT finals in 2009, that tournament did not exist. Osku did not win the 2012 TOC, that was Sean Rash. Your videos are mostly really good, but this one is absolutely horrible. You should do actual research before you do these. To me, it seems like you used AI assistance and just assumed it was all correct before actually researching. Please be better.
The biggest misconception of 2-handed bowling is that many people really ask or think that we throw with both hands. The answer is no... That extra hand is our thumb because of the angle our bodies are when we throw. Without it, the ball would fall. Really, it's no different than the 2-finger, underhanded, 1-handed bowlers I see more of than 2-handers. Except, we can get lower to the ground. I'm 47 years old and changed to 2-handed 5yrs ago after the wrist and hip started becoming an issue after so long. Changing over was not easy....and it didn't give me an advantage. I averaged a 216 one-handed.... and after 5yrs since the change I am just over 200. The revs might be more, but I feel that there are more mechanics to keeping consistent with 2-hands compared to when I threw 1-handed. One thing I will say, most can't believe I am a 2-hander at my age and can get low like that.... but... it has GREATLY taken the stress off my body and I am rarely sore the next day after a tournament weekend compared to 1-handed. I used to not be able to move my wrist or even spread butter on bread after a weekend when I was 1-handed.
2-handed bowlers are virtually never as accurate as 1-handers, and yet they are able to succeed nonetheless in today's game. That's because the game, even at the professional level, no longer requires the same degree of accuracy in order to score. Moreover, the dynamics of ball technology and lane conditioners and patterns (and their manipulation) gives 2-handers an advantage. The game could reel this back in if they wanted, but apparently don't care. I personally find the men's game much less interesting to watch than the women's game because of the absurd excess valuation of power over accuracy in the men's game.
2-Handed bowling only is as strong as it is on tour is because of Bowlero. The PBA puts out the softest patterns that are designed for power to dominate because that's what drives ratings. The only two events that really value shot making are the Masters and the U.S. Open and those are both USBC events. Put out sensitive, tight patterns and you'll see the power advantage dissolve. The best two handers will still find a way, but it won't be strictly due to power.
What I found: there is no speciffic rule how the ball has to be thrown. "4a. Legal Delivery: A delivery is made when the ball leaves the player’s possession and crosses the foul line into playing territory." Source USBC Playing Rules.
Before everything merged into the USBC. The ABC rules stated right or left handed. The YABA(youth association) stated right, left or two handed. And had a stipulation about the switch as the child grows out of a two handed style to a one handed style they had to be reestablish a new average. Technically making two handed bowling against the rules in the US, The issue arises as the PBA and international competitions had no such rules. Some of those still exist in USBC rules, all the YABA language for youth was cut though. For example being ambidextrous I cannot use both hands in a game(Or a set and requires a whole new average, also a league secretary has the option to deny offhand averages forcing primary), I cannot throw left handed and right handed. But I think it's stupid a two hander can use both hands. and on top of that legally Drop to one hand if need be on spares.
I have been bowling since 1979 (45 years) so I know what is going on. Two handed is more powerful and will be the dominant method for men from now on. Back in the old days of wood lanes two handed would never have worked so it didn't arise. But the advent of synthetic lanes, powerful balls, and finger grips changed everything. It was only a matter of time until bowlers figured out how to take advantage of that. Here are the core rules of bowling: 1) if you don't knock down all the pins on your first shot you get a second shot to try to get them all, 2) you can't go past the foul line, 3) you can't go when it isn't your turn, 4) your ball can't be heavier than 16 pounds. That rule system was written to allow two-handed bowling. If you can succeed by standing backwards and throwing it between your legs, that is Ok too. Bowling is both simple to understand and very discreet eliminating contentious calls like pass interference.
The big problem with the pba is they aren't trying to limit the advantage of going two-handed. You can switch to one handed for spares which is really not that hard to do. Im not against two handed at all their are just some clear ways to make the game fair for both sides but they ignore the clear advantages that they give. Also look up weight holes for bowling it gives more context to the situation
