So USBC says....."A player started league bowling right handed, but later decided to use a two-handed appraoch.  Is this a change of delivery and in violation of rule 118b?......No, as long as all deliveries are made with the right hand, this would not be a violation of rule 118b"

So lets say you are a 200 ave. bowler.  You try two-handed and can only manage around 140.  You establish a league avreage two-handed.  Then when it comes to handicap tournaments you use one hand.  SIMPLE.

If I am understanding the rule book this a USBC supported way to sandbag in handicap tournaments.  

Of course now it means that there'll be more rules in tournaments about no more then a 10 pin drop from a prior year's book average.  That will only stop those that had a book average the prior year.

you have time to think stuff like this lol

I bet you are the Biggest sandbagger in your area

Only Sandbagger think the way you think

I have actually used this but not in a sandbaggin way. I bowl with my right hand but have worked on 2 Handed ever since Osku made the US Open show. The 2 handed works great on house shots with a ton of oil in the middle and a violent dry on the outside part of the lane. I get way left and 2 hand it with an aggressive ball. I can get enough friction inside to get to the pocket but also am deep enough to get it to recover off the violent dry. I have carried around a paper from an email with USBC saying this is legal cause I have had people complain before. But I have only used it in scratch events. I dont feel it would be right to go into a handicap tourney and totally change but I could hold my own either way. Ive always been in favor of allowing people to switch hands in an event where average means nothing. Isn't it quite a talent to use both hands? I believe in the right forum this talent should be allowed to shine.
