question about drill for 2 handers

does a 2 hander have to have a thumbhole drilled...i realize for the purposes of making ball legal it may need some sort of hole..

It all comes down to top weight.  If the top weight is more than 1 ounce, then after drilling the fingers, then you do need a thumb hole.  However, there are no rules as to the minimum size of the thumb hole.  So, I usually just put a 23 hole 3 1/2 inches below the ring finger.  I offset the hole like that because I track so high that it eliminates risk of ball rolling over the thumb hole.

Also, I usually go with balls that have medium top weights (at or near 3 ounces).  That way I can keep the cg above the midline in order to concentrate the top weight closer to the fingers in order to keep my virtual thumb hole small.

I throw 2 handed, but I use my thumb as do a few other ones (like Cassidy), so my drillings are exactly the same as yours would be, well just a lot weaker and shinier, polish is a great friend of mine.
