How To Bowl Two Handed | MORE HOOK & POWER (Beginners Guide) 

Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

@@realaverageatbest Could you do a second video where you explain how you set up. Go from holding the ball, the tilt on the body and all things. Its hard to go from start with ball to kind of walking sideways. Then also having that hopping step:) I am improving, but sideways walking is still an issue, and Just doing the 2 step or 3 step drill is fine. With the start and transition into the aproach is more difficult and i really like how you explain. Your game is awsome. If you can get even more swing controll at the last step you will be golden. Seems like you use to much effort and its there you lose lot of pins/accuracy. In your backswing if you get your elbow in, you will be more on the inside of the ball. That means even of tougher patterns you ball will have lenght and hook when others struggle. I have been bowling and coaching since 1993. Its fun to learn this and also doing what fit my body type the best.

the crow hop when throwing is more to get your body into position for an accurate throw after fielding without losing your forward momentum. Here's a video that breaks it down and offers the non-hop alternative. Though, my preference was always the crow hop. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vMU7ds_WpiM.html

I have a good recommendation! Our buddy runs the RU-vid channel The Two Handed Tour and he is an amazing two handed lefty. Go ahead and check him out!

If you play in a league, they might have a problem with it. If you are playing casually, it won't make any difference to how the ball moves.

We are working on getting a video out about that very topic. We will try to get it out soon!

If the problem you are facing is that you see yourself getting too far left, then I would suggest getting a weaker ball that’s not urethane or working on going more up the back of the bowling ball. A lot of times people can get caught getting too around the ball and causing it to grab the lane early. So figuring out how to consistently bring down your axis rotation and being more up the back of the ball will hopefully help you out. Of course getting your speed up even more that what you have already will also help. Hope this helps! We will be doing a video in the future about this very topic so be on the lookout for that

that’s more so a question for your pso

I'd probably have to take a look at your full swing to get a good idea of what you need help on. As far as getting the arm locked into place, your best bet would be to make sure your push off step fully extends the ball away from your body. Then as you go through you approach, just letting the ball swing down and naturally bending your elbow towards the apex of the swing. You can also try the alternative style to 2 handed much like what Kyle Troup does where he doesn't bend his arm at all through the swing and keeps his arms fully extended. I suggest taking a look around RU-vid and watching videos on different 2 handed styles and finding which one works best for you. Hope this helps!

@@realaverageatbest is there anyway I can message you a short video

Is the short on your channel representative of your game today or is it different nowadays?

@@realaverageatbest its somewhat different I recently switched from 5 to 4 step and my arm swing looks a little different I think

I think your main thing you need to worry about is just make sure you extend your right arm in the push off and make sure you let the ball go through the backswing in a fluid motion. Your game otherwise looks rather consistent

I usually draw a line from the dots, through the arrows, down to where I want the ball to break off the pattern. Then, when I figure that out, I look directly at the space between the dots and the arrows through my whole approach and try to go through my imaginary line as perfectly as possible. I would recommend throwing shots until you find a method that works for you and that improves your accuracy. Hope this helps!

My main point is that a vast majority of your speed will come through your legs. The faster your legs move, theoretically the faster your speed is going to be. The downward motion of the hopstop is kind of an “extra boost” of speed by using the force of gravity as you come down from the hop if that makes sense

Honestly it all comes with preference. You can get along just as fine with no thumb then you can with a thumb. I would recommend trying it out and if you see yourself having better scores and an overall better release, then I would say go for it

@@realaverageatbest thanks for the advice, I'll try it out 👍

Typically no

I’ll be honest, I don’t totally know the differences between the two. Of course it always comes down to a feel thing and whether it’s comfortable for you. One thing though is that you may not be able to be as versatile with the thumb in the ball then with the thumb out of the ball since it can sometimes hinder your ability to play certain hand positions. Overall I think it’s down to what works best for you. I’ve been doing 2 handed with no thumb for close to 6 years now and can say that it’s definitely more comfortable for me then with my thumb.

@@realaverageatbest thank you. I will work on both and see how they feel. Thanks for the reply. I just recently found this channel and will be back

@@2hand164difference is that you have to release your thumb at release rather than just ur 2 fingers only

I believe it is spins Kent, or rather twin star lanes! I know that house anywhere

Yes you can.

Exactly! I only mentioned the 2 ways of doing it as I’d think of the hop stop and the normal walking approach as just two “benchmark” styles for two handed bowling. There are definitely infinite possibilities for different styles and different approaches. It’s all about finding what works for you and gets the pins to fall down the most for you

I do the same thing, it just feel way better to me. I bowl better that way opposed to push off with the left

If Walter Ray could do it then I’d assume you can as well!

The best style is the one you’re comfortable with :)
