HS bowler wins state using 2 hands

Not trying to put a plug in for this kid.  I didn't watch the video part.  Just thought this was interesting that it actually made headlines somewhere.  Here is the link:

Wow, that is perhaps one of the worst two-handers I've ever seen, but if it gets the job done all that matters is all the pins fall down.

A two hander who throws a back up ball, but like what has been said if it works more power to him.

Clowns game?
 
I'm a righty.  When I played hockey, I played lefty as my wrist shot was much stronger from that side.  
 
Many right-handed dominant baseball players bat switch, it gives them the advantage over the pitcher.
 
Some tennis players hit backhands two-handed.  Some tennis players hit backhands one-handed.  All use different rackets and strings to emphasize a strength or mask a weakness.
 
Half of college football teams run offenses that would never work in the NFL and produce players that aren't ready for NFL systems. 
 
So why exactly does every other sport allow their athletes to do what they need for an advantage or for them to be comfortable? Why is it that when someone has an odd shot in our spot, we have a clowns game?  Personally, I think the way that kid throws makes no sense.  Yet, he has accomplished much more than I have in bowling, and MUCH more than I did in HS.  More power to him.

It is ugly, but at least he is smart enough to do it on a side of the lane no one uses.......I mean almost no one uses.


Be good, or be good at it.
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

Most of the time a person with a ugly shot wins ver someone with a pretty shot.  If you hit 10 you get 10

 +1  Do you think the PGA Tour said it was a clowns game when Jim Furyk got his card and won some titles.  He won the Fedex Cup last year with an "ugly" swing.  Doesnt matter what you look like.  If you can repeat shots consistently, you will be successful.  Pretty doesnt always mean best.
