    I've done it a time or two for fun......got so much hook on the ball....and speed.....and power. Killed my back and knee though.

    I was wildly inconsistent though that could improve if my body held out.

    I got lots of pin action as well as some nice runs of strikes.

    I think that two handed bowling is for the younger folks. If I tried it I would probably throw my back out. Plus my sliding leg knee wouldn't like it too much either.

    Very younger folks! Like.... Juniors under 12. I think it could be a great way for a smaller bowler to generate revs and pin action.

    I've been losing fair amount of weight bowling two-handed. Terrific workout.
    younger kids under 12 I doubt could effectively pull off a two handed approach - Now two-handed RELEASE, that's another story. That's bread and butter childrens bowling right there.

    False! There's tons of juniors doing this to get big pin action:

    Hmm, I stand corrected. :P
    I would really like to see at least one other two-hander at the lanes I go to. Seems what is mostly popular with people my age (early 20's) there, is the one hand no thumb. I think that technique gets as much or maybe more hate than two-handed approach.

    I haven't seen too much hate (outside of my ramblings). Most bowlers are kinda live and let live. I think deep down most traditional bowlers do kinda get annoyed by it…because thumbless and 2-handed is so prevalent among young casual bowlers…often unsuccessfully. So when you see it, you think, "oh…well…this kid is gonna be inconsistent, etc…" Then sometimes…you see the rare exception when one of these kids just hammers the pins and can pick up spares.
