I think most of the bowling community still considers 2-handed bowling to be a fad or "unique" delivery. And statistics back that up. At the WSOB, I think there may have been 3-5 2-handers total and hundreds of non-2-handers.
The following is a quote from the article on the PBA website about Belmonte's victory in Yesterday's Masters.
"Utilizing his unique two-handed delivery, Belmonte has amassed 11 career PBA Tour titles, including four major victories. He earned $50,000 for winning the Masters."
While Belmonte's delivery is not the standard bowling technique, and he was the first to make a televised final using it, he is not the only two-hander out there. It is only unique in the same way that no two conventional bowlers will have the exact same delivery due to the differences in size and strength between them.

Heck yeah. If a bowling magazine wanted to write something about me...I'm sure they'd refer to me as unique. But as long as they mention me...I'm good. I'm still waiting for Rob M. to credit me in one of his articles. I'm hoping for something like, "One of my greatest students" or "one of bowling's up and coming stars"...something along those lines.
