Two handed bowling guide
« on: February 04, 2009, 03:46:23 PM »
Would anybody be interested in reading a guide to help bowl two handed?  While I'm certainly no Jason Belmonte, I have been learning how to bowl two handed for the last few months.  I'm averaging about 220 two handed on THS (One handed average is 225ish) to give you an idea.  I'm not THAT much of a house hack!  

Being the student of the game, I have been writing down some things that work and don't work and have about 3 or 4 pages written out.  If I took the time to unscramble the mess and write out a guide would anybody be interested in reading/using it?  It would be pretty technical and basically a detailed script of how to convert to using two hands.

If there is some interest I would take a few hours to write it out.

Mike

I believe USBC Hired Jason Belmonte to help make things that you're describing. He's also helping to recoach coaches to help the growing number of interest of two-handers. But I can imagine it will probably take a while for them to come out with that with how busy both parties are (USBC and Jason.) Right now I would love to read a guide on it. I say go for it I'm definitely interested.

I'm very interested too.

I'm having a lot of thumb problems lately and my wrist isn't strong enough to throw the ball one handed no thumb so I want to try the two handed no thumb method.

Hi Mike,

Of course I would be interested.  Just reading about the stuff that doesn't work would be valuable.  Probably would be a good idea to explain why it doesn't work too.

Well I have received 5 responses so far.  I'll try to put something together soon.  If any other two handers have any input feel free to pm me.  I would like to get opinions from more than just myself.

Thanks,
Mike

There are various types of two handed bowlers.  Some approaches will be more of a run and chuck while others would be like a normal style but with the other hand guiding the ball.  the push away can be with a straight arm or with a bent elbow both have their disadvantages over the others.  Timing can be different.  When i bowl two handed think of jason hurds approach but 2 handed.  I was thinking about shooting a demonstration video but i havnt had the time because of school maybe during my silver conferance in vegas will have time
