When I practice (during open games, not league practice), I do often throw a whole game two-handed just for the sake of versatility. Having that skill in my pouch of tricks comes in handy most when my thumb is otherwise disposed (as in blistered, swollen, etc.) Sometimes, a specific oil condition can prove difficult to play on normally, so I switch to two handed to get a different look on the lane.
Before you go complaining that this would be considered cheating, it is legal via USBC regulation 118b/4 and 118b/5. I get complaints all the time about this, unfortunately.
I do use the same weight whether I throw single or two-handed.
