Looking videos of 2 hand/no thumb bowlers
« on: September 20, 2005, 06:22:45 PM »
My brother is a 2 hand bowler, and its hard to find a manual or too many people for him to emulate.  I've been coaching him, but it would be great to see some really good 2 handers.  We've watched Jason Belmonte from the World Tenpin Masters vs Zulkifli like 20 times, and was hoping that somebody would have some other videos of some 2 handed bowling.  Either more Belmonte videos Osku Brian Valenta, or even yourself or somebody you know who bowls well 2handed.  Any videos would be greatly appreciated =)

Thanks for the help.  The thing is that it is difficult to help him find a way to generate enough speed.  True, that using weak equipment, drilled pin above and polished helps, but ball speed is a key.  Do u all think it is a matter of flexibility to get the right technique??? or is a there another good way to generate good ball speed without SUPER fast feet.

Watching those videos brought my self-esteem down a notch

Hahaha .... yeah ... there r a couple of shockers I must say ... Michelle Feldman may not b the most "petite" lady in Australia ... but she's got a powerful shot! & James Sitters is actually disabled ... so @ least cut him some slack.  Best in those videos r of course Belmo (Jason Belmonte), Cara Honeychurch, ANdrew Frawley, George Frilingos, Carol Gianotti, Jarrod Lean Glen Loader, Michael Zentveld ... Look ... the list could go on ...!  But yeah, the videos date back to 2002 ... even earlier ...!  Total Bowling is Australia's biggest tenpin bowling forum ... & would b the best place 2 find videos of 2 - handed bowlers in AUstralia ... & unfortunately it's only Belmo & Ant Morrell's vid that shows 2 - handed bowling ... & I reckon Belmo is an awesome 2 - handed bowler ... he looked gr8 @ World Masters a couple months ago.  But most importantly, he possesses the ideal sportsmanship that every bowler should carry.  It's hard 2 find but boy is it admirable when u see it!

These clips shouldn't tear you down but they should build you up.  I am so amped to get home and hit the lanes. 3 WEEKS TO GO! As much as I am resistant to the 2 handed phenomenon, I must admit that these folks are very impressive! I know talent when I see it and my hat is off each and every one of them. Now my goal is to get to their level.

I can do well enough using my brother's spare ball two handed... it's amusing seeing a plastic ball make a 15 board move on the backend and leave a solid 9 pin Wouldn't want to try doing it regularly, it seems to be quite a bit more physical than boring old regular bowling.

As a fan of Mo Pinel's I am glad to see that my view that two handed is the next great trend in bowling (which I've stated many times here) is being trumpeted by some of the well known gurus!

(When I saw my son at 4 shoot a 192 with about 20 revs and a 10 pound plastic ball...I knew there was no reason that it wouldn't take off someday).
With a one handed delivery he struggled to use a 6 pound ball.  So he settled on this on the side two handed method all by himself as do many kids if left to their own devices!!

AND there is no reach limitation like with the deceptive and powerful two handed backhand in tennis which sometimes causes a player to not get to the running shot!  Nothing like that in bowling!

REgards,

Luckylefty
PS Imagine if we forced golfers to play one handed!  And there clubs weigh less than a pound!
