two handed forum

[echidapus]

I want to know if there enough of them here to start a specific forum for 2 handers.   It's still new so if we could all come together we could all benefit from it, tips and adjustments and especially form.  

Any thoughts?

I have a 16# morich awesome finish I want to trade.  1 season on it.    I am looking for 15# stuff

The only thing I would question is just how much content could you really have?  At the core the form is no different than normal just with a second hand.  The adjustments are no different than a normal player....

It would be like having a forum specifically for the "RICO" layout.  You would end up with the same 4 questions over and over again.

Im not trying to bash the idea...just thinking realistically about how many different topics could be started about it.

I am a 2 handed bowler.

The adjustments arent the same as a 1 handed bowler, a good two hander adjusts his top hand also, to gain revs, lose revs, add forward roll, more tilt, can all be done by just adjusting the hand on top of the ball. I have been doing it for 15 years, so it does take a long time to learn all of the things that we can do differently. Theres more things we can do with a ball, not just with wrist positions, but the top hand plays a big part in it also.

Right....but my point is how many topics would really be created about that and how long would the discussion be carried?

Only time would tell, but the miscellaneous forum does it fine for me, when I see a 2 handed topic I almost always reply to it. They are few and far between, so not sure how far it would go.

how many people on here bowl with 2 hands?

[echidapus]

Well here is a question and let me know if the answer is the same for 1 hander and 2 handers.

I need help on increasing my back swing with 2 hands.   What can I do for this?

[LuckyLefty]

that's funny!  

REgards,

2 handers dont really have that much of a backswing, mine is decently high, but we get our speed from the torque we have through our short backswing and follow through. I have a decent quick approach, 6 steps and it helps me get more speed. When I want to slow down a lot I either move up or go to 4 steps. If its a slight speed adjustment you can do it with the slightly lower or higher backswing.

Heres as high as Belmo's backswing will get:

His back swing he gets his elbow really high.   Is it more of flexibility to increase that?  

I know the power comes from the hips and I've only been doing 2 handed for about 1.5 months now in league.  This summer I am planning my workouts with 2 handed in mind to help get my speed on my skip step to drive my hips through and let my arms follow to increase speed.  

Do you have or know of any specific workouts for that?  I have my own personal training facility and will be creating a 2 handers workout this summer.

I just do crunches and lunges and different stretches that baseball players use to keep everything in my lower body in good shape, and leg lifts. Thats about all I do, Im not a huge workout type of guy, but just basic stuff to keep everything strong. I dont do the skip step, just 2 fast steps in my approach.

I've seen that surgery done once.   It was absolutely incredible.   It made closing a car door EXTREMELY hard though.  He was a righty

Would No Thumb bowlers be allowed in this forum (if it went ahead) or would they have to have their own... ??
