I heard that the guy at 0:43 has a physical problem which makes it so he can't bend his knees to do a "normal" release. He is a great bowler even with his unique style
"And were gonna pick up this backup ball here and were gonna put the 2 pin into the 10 pin like so! And that pretty? Remember you can make anything become reality if you just believe in it"
The thing I get most frustrated at, is competing in tournament, league etc, when your opponent is carrying horrible shots, while your shots are flush with good entry angle, and you get bad carry. It's fuel to the fire when the other guy is clapping out terrible shots too. I have a love hate relationship with this game lmao.
Single handed, 2 handed, 2 fingers, backwards bowling, it should not matter everyone has a style of how they bowl, besides we all have the passion for the sport :). I would love to see Bowling make it in the Olympics at some Point.
I actually know this dude, he's a legit 220-230 average bowler. I know it doesn't look like it but he's pretty good. He now shoots his spares like a normal 2 hander.
What I've realized after watching many videos about two handed bowling is that the two hand technique is no easier to learn than a one hand delivery. My hats off to these guys.
@@chrisreddy8958 Buddy I wasn't talking to you specifically I was just saying so don't make fun of him I'm talking about anybody not you So I'm not assuming things.
I was expecting something different but all I see is normal bad breaks. Two handers and one handers leave the same things and get bad breaks equally Maybe I’m missing something but this is how I see it
I just started throwing 2 hands the last time I bowled. Bowled 1 handed for 20 years and experimented with a house ball. Immediately liked it better for two reasons. Ball feels lighter since I'm using 2 hands and my thumb is not in a hole so I didn't get any blisters on my thumb. I ran out of lane time on my 3rd game but made it to frame 6 with 5 strikes and one spare.
Blisters on the thumb happen when the span, hole size, excessive thumb hole bevel, or thumb hole pitches are incorrect. Though it can be hard to get a ball fit and drilled correctly by pro shops.
My local bowling alley (Beverly Lanes) is run by the family of Les Zikes. Beverly Lanes has been around since 1955. They have a pro-shop in there and do amazing work.
For all the people making fun of the guy at 0:43 stop. It's not his fault he isn't able to do a "normal" bowling approach and is probably a better bowler that 99% of people making fun of him.
One thing really fascinates me about 2-handed bowling: its greatest strength (speed and rotation) can also be its greatest weakness. Based on what I've seen, a two-hander has a better chance of leaving one of those four and five-pin washouts than a one-hander. Thanks for the video!
Thanks I appreciate it! To answer your statement, speed and rotation can be used by all bowlers, one handed and two handed. Every bowler has a chance to leave anything, making a bad shot has nothing to do with the way you bowl. No way to bowl is the right or BEST way, it’s all equal and as much hate as two handing gets for its advantages over one handed bowling, the only possibly advantage i can see is the ability to change rotation and hand position so easily, for one handers it’s just not as easy but with practice it’s no issue but people don’t ever practice it because in one handing, there’s little need to ever use that practically unless you have a giant rev rate. But thanks for the comment!
I've been away from bowling for about 30 years because of back injury. I had no idea they were allowing this kind of thing at a championship level. Why would an adult choose this way?
feel like theres an attack here thats for zero reason other than to just attack something.... but mainly because some people have better control better power and better spin?
The combo of speed and revolutions from a two handed style can shred the rack. On the flip side, there are some strange leaves when the ball misses the pocket.
And to whoever suggested this and doesn't like the shovel style, (it's acutal name,) this same Belmonte, who introduced this style to our times, now has 21 tour titles, 11 of them being majors, (more than any other bowler in history,) and I challenge the hater, (not you, Lowlights,) to do better.
A couple of points.... 1. I love Kyle Troup, I was a big fan of his Dad, Guppy.....that dude had the coolest fashion sense as a bowler and it's awesome to see that the fashion seeped down to his kid! Plus, Kyle gets bonus points for that awesome fro'! 2. I was curious when the two-handed style first came into vogue.....was it the success of Jason Belmonte? I watched most of my bowling when I was a kid in the 1980's.....the usual Saturday afternoon thing....ABC...Chris Schenkel and Bo Burton......so, I grew up watching names like Mark Roth, Guppy Troup, Marshall Holman, a young Pete Weber, and Earl Anthony who was just about done as a force in the PBA.

That kid who chest passes is Tim Cagle the second and he's a better bowler than you could ever be. Also doesn't damage the lanes, you're an idiot if you think the PBA would let him do that at their tournaments if it really did damage anything. Bowling lanes are strong.
@@thegunkygamer6817 I don’t care who he is, he bowls like a moron.

@@thebriangroves How? By showing the world a more efficient release? With two hands you get the ball in a way more advantageous spot at release, which is under the ball and behind it. Two handers are just like 1 handers, they get around the same breaks, struggle with similar form issues, and overall aren't much different from a closer look. Hell, if you look closely, two handers roll the ball off of - guess what - ONE HAND! I'm 14, going on 15, been bowling two handed for 2 and a half years now, and it wasn't because of "BloMo the Clown", it was because I could be consent with it. I didn't even know Belmo was a guy until... 2-3 months after I started. And did I get crazy breaks? Did I average 200 day 1 of throwing two handed? Hell no I didn't. Do I still have a journey to go when it comes to learning? Of course. The two handers you see on TV have put YEARS upon YEARS of hard work and muscle memory into their form. They're so good and "ruin" bowling like you say, because they just know what they're doing, and they know how to do it well. You're just jealous, because you just can't bowl like them.

@@PBALowlights My jaw literally just dropped open reading that reply... I mean, I've seen some strange forms, techniques, and styles over the years. But... I have no words for this.

I don’t see anything here to indicate that the two-handed bowlers leave these spares any more frequently than someone using a normal ball. In my league I do notice that the two-handed bowlers have more extreme games, I.e., the highs are higher and the lows are lower. As far as picking up these kinds of spares I’d say the conversion rate is about the same.
watching this makes me realize a guy with shit form is doing better than I, a person with somewhat of the basics and can't even hit the pins because my ball curves too early.
I feel like the people that hate 2 handed bowling are the same ones that know nothing about bowling, but just casually bowl one day a week, bowl at the same house, same pattern over and over and think they are better than they are.
Nobody makes that argument, that's a classic strawman. The argument against two-handed bowling is that it's an unfair way to create huge revs and carry bad shots that shouldn't strike
And furthermore that an over-reliance on revs and power doesn't churn out good, versatile bowlers. Do you really think Belmo will have as long of a career as say Norm Duke? Belmo has aleady had to cut down on revs and speed because the style isn't maintainable
@@JoelSmithR1 No, unfair advantages don't guarentee wins. I spend a lot of time around youth bowlers and honestly, like 75% of the high scoring youth bowlers use two-handed because it's much easier and much more forgiving than the traditional style. Especially from a coaching standpoint, it's a million times easier to teach a new bowler how to hook with two hands.
If the objective is to create more revs and carry, I guess it makes sense. But there have been one-hand crankers since forever. I can turn the ball to a respectable degree, and I already feel like most newer equipment turns over way too fast and hooks way too much. This is coming from the perspective of the era where the Black U-Dot and Blue Hammer provided as much help as you could possibly need for wet conditions. Most of the time they were more dry and it would be a Pearl Hammer, or my favorite, the Nail!
For me personally there are a few reasons I bowl two handed. 1. I don’t want to pay to drill a thumb. 2. I don’t want to deal with fitnment issues and spending months trying to find a fit that doesn’t destroy my thumb. 3. It takes much longer to work out the one handed release than the two handed release. The biggest reason is fitment. I see so many people putting tape in their holes and changing the thumb grips because of swelling. Also see people ripping skin off of their thumbs and all of that just to bowl recreationally, and that’s not for me.
@@quintingoynes704 Well, bowling is in need of new generations of bowlers, as it has been in a decline for years. Anything that gets people into the centers and on the lanes is OK by me. I have always had the thumbhole a little big, and added / removed bowler's tape as needed. There is no significant cost in this, and many bowlers prefer the rough tape texture than the smooth surface of a thumbhole. Bowlers have been tearing up their thumbs since forever, and Nu-Skin works wonders.
@@kenzoalwitt5287 relax, it was an honest question, when did it start? I used to watch every week when bowling actually got good air time, and bowled in scratch leagues for over a decade (granted that was 20 years ago), even worked in a house for a few years as the pin setter mechanic. Only people I ever saw do this was the Friday night drunks. Just really interesting.
I've been around this sport my whole life and a decent scratch-ish bowler for much of it. I don't care for the two handed style, and frankly I don't even understand exactly how it works. On the other hand, I can't knock the success of guys like Belmonte who have made a career of it, and if it creates additional and brings new people into the sport, I'm all for that. 90% of the houses I bowled league and tournaments over the years are gone.
I'm amazed these guys can make a lucrative living throwing like this. Looks so difficult to control, consistency and dealing with changing conditions. My hats off to these dudes...amazing.
I bowl 2 handed and honestly it’s easier to me than 1 handed. I just cannot get used to having my thumb into the ball, I am absolutely horrendous at 1 handed.
@@Liluzibertgg Cool. I know a few guys who are very successful at 2 hands. Me? I guess I was too old school. And honestly balance, control, consistency was an issue and I didn't have the time to get use to or consistent with it.
@@ronburgandy5006 that’s why I don’t really like when people criticize 2 handers. Believe me I would love to learn 1 handed, I wish I could lay that sucker down like Barnzey but for me individually it is very difficult. I set a goal for myself to learn it some day with a coach in the future when I’m not so caught up with my classes and work etc. I wish people would be more understanding, 2 handers are just trying their best with their own way and play the game they love.
It's the Ole "Back in My Day" syndrome... People are so insecure that someone that is different from them personally could succeed. They give themselves a superiority complex and Hate Bash those that aren't like them... The 2-Handed Hate Bashing, about it ruining the sport and should be banned share a surprisingly similar parallel to the Hate Bashing of same sex marriage and how it was ruining the sanctity of marriage and should be banned... Obviously it's just bowling and to a lesser severity. But these 1-Handed purists come sounding an awful lot like those haters at the Westboro Baptist Church
I've seen many kids who had 150 averages bowling one handed and when they switched to two have they started averaging 190 to 200's. 2 handed bowling is much easier, and it's bad on the knees, hips, and back.
@@cameron6783 so what? The same could be said with new high tech balls. Why don't we just use plastic balls or house balls cause you know.... It's harder!

watching this makes me realize a guy with shit form is doing better than I, a person with somewhat of the basics and can't even hit the pins because my ball curves too early.
5:33 what tournament was this?
Never been a fan of two handed bowling but to each their own.
5:59 Richard Simmons?
"WOKE" Bowling!!!
Did Jason Couch make this video?
Why Straight Bowlers will always in the end.
Hooking the ball is better
6:41 no wonder he is a bad two handler
Kyle Troup has come really far since then
Indeed. Good call. I watched him bowl a 299 in a video the other day. It was recent too.
@@nepttune710 and he won those playoffs
I feel like the people that hate 2 handed bowling are the same ones that know nothing about bowling, but just casually bowl one day a week, bowl at the same house, same pattern over and over and think they are better than they are.
Rash playing doubles with a guy who uses two hands? WOT
Two hands doubles the amount of variables to go wrong. Good to see it works for some but, I won't be changing my game any time sokn.
*professional 2-handed bowler wins a tournament*
“But two hands! They’re trash, way worse than my 1-handed subpar bowling!”
Nobody makes that argument, that's a classic strawman. The argument against two-handed bowling is that it's an unfair way to create huge revs and carry bad shots that shouldn't strike
And furthermore that an over-reliance on revs and power doesn't churn out good, versatile bowlers. Do you really think Belmo will have as long of a career as say Norm Duke? Belmo has aleady had to cut down on revs and speed because the style isn't maintainable
@@GILDENST3RN If it was an unfair advantage wouldn't everyone do it? Wouldn't every champion be two handed?
@@JoelSmithR1 No, unfair advantages don't guarentee wins. I spend a lot of time around youth bowlers and honestly, like 75% of the high scoring youth bowlers use two-handed because it's much easier and much more forgiving than the traditional style. Especially from a coaching standpoint, it's a million times easier to teach a new bowler how to hook with two hands.
Why is one handing subpar? Just a question
If the objective is to create more revs and carry, I guess it makes sense. But there have been one-hand crankers since forever. I can turn the ball to a respectable degree, and I already feel like most newer equipment turns over way too fast and hooks way too much. This is coming from the perspective of the era where the Black U-Dot and Blue Hammer provided as much help as you could possibly need for wet conditions. Most of the time they were more dry and it would be a Pearl Hammer, or my favorite, the Nail!
For me personally there are a few reasons I bowl two handed.
1. I don’t want to pay to drill a thumb.
2. I don’t want to deal with fitnment issues and spending months trying to find a fit that doesn’t destroy my thumb.
3. It takes much longer to work out the one handed release than the two handed release.
The biggest reason is fitment. I see so many people putting tape in their holes and changing the thumb grips because of swelling. Also see people ripping skin off of their thumbs and all of that just to bowl recreationally, and that’s not for me.
@@quintingoynes704 Well, bowling is in need of new generations of bowlers, as it has been in a decline for years. Anything that gets people into the centers and on the lanes is OK by me. I have always had the thumbhole a little big, and added / removed bowler's tape as needed. There is no significant cost in this, and many bowlers prefer the rough tape texture than the smooth surface of a thumbhole. Bowlers have been tearing up their thumbs since forever, and Nu-Skin works wonders.
i see all my throws in a mirror here
Bunch of babies in these comments damn... who cares how people throw a ball?
Yo mama...lol jk
That human microphone guy kills me.
Bruh who bowls like that at 0:18
When did professionals start bowling like 5 year olds? 2 hands?
so funny
Let’s see you bowl!
@@kenzoalwitt5287 relax, it was an honest question, when did it start? I used to watch every week when bowling actually got good air time, and bowled in scratch leagues for over a decade (granted that was 20 years ago), even worked in a house for a few years as the pin setter mechanic. Only people I ever saw do this was the Friday night drunks. Just really interesting.
I've been around this sport my whole life and a decent scratch-ish bowler for much of it. I don't care for the two handed style, and frankly I don't even understand exactly how it works. On the other hand, I can't knock the success of guys like Belmonte who have made a career of it, and if it creates additional and brings new people into the sport, I'm all for that. 90% of the houses I bowled league and tournaments over the years are gone.
Where’s Maldonado?
6:18 JESPER THROWING REACTIVE????
4:16 Is someone mowing lane 6? 😂
I'm amazed these guys can make a lucrative living throwing like this. Looks so difficult to control, consistency and dealing with changing conditions. My hats off to these dudes...amazing.
Yeah, so why do it?? Kids usually grow out of this type bowling don't they?
I bowl 2 handed and honestly it’s easier to me than 1 handed. I just cannot get used to having my thumb into the ball, I am absolutely horrendous at 1 handed.
@@Liluzibertgg Cool. I know a few guys who are very successful at 2 hands. Me? I guess I was too old school. And honestly balance, control, consistency was an issue and I didn't have the time to get use to or consistent with it.
@@ronburgandy5006 that’s why I don’t really like when people criticize 2 handers. Believe me I would love to learn 1 handed, I wish I could lay that sucker down like Barnzey but for me individually it is very difficult. I set a goal for myself to learn it some day with a coach in the future when I’m not so caught up with my classes and work etc. I wish people would be more understanding, 2 handers are just trying their best with their own way and play the game they love.
@@Liluzibertgg Well ya got a fan here. I am so impressed with that style. It's bowling evolving to the next level. Good luck to you. All the best.
Why do people hate two handed? It’s just a bowling style. There’s more two handlers coming
It’s because people never bowled that way years ago.
It's the Ole "Back in My Day" syndrome... People are so insecure that someone that is different from them personally could succeed. They give themselves a superiority complex and Hate Bash those that aren't like them... The 2-Handed Hate Bashing, about it ruining the sport and should be banned share a surprisingly similar parallel to the Hate Bashing of same sex marriage and how it was ruining the sanctity of marriage and should be banned... Obviously it's just bowling and to a lesser severity. But these 1-Handed purists come sounding an awful lot like those haters at the Westboro Baptist Church
I've seen many kids who had 150 averages bowling one handed and when they switched to two have they started averaging 190 to 200's. 2 handed bowling is much easier, and it's bad on the knees, hips, and back.
worry about yourself man imma throw mine with two hands xD
@@cameron6783 so what? The same could be said with new high tech balls. Why don't we just use plastic balls or house balls cause you know.... It's harder!
