Is two-handed bowling unfair?

[Jaescrub]

I don't not think that's its unfair. I also would never want to limit or make light of how someone else Bowls. I have seen some crazy releases and even started my bowling with an unorthadox style.

I don't think it's unfair either. I wonder as this trend continues though. How many bowlers over the age of 50 will be using this technique if any.

I've seen video of Walter Ray doing it.

Unfair? Since it's not against the rules, I don't think you can reasonably call it unfair.

However, I think it makes bowling too easy and never should have been allowed in the first place.

The reason I ask about the age thing is. I have read many times, that a lot of 2 handers started this at a very early age. The reason being that the balls were to heavy for them at the time. So as a person enters their senior years and not being as strong as they once were. Would they take up the 2 handed approach. From what I have seen. it looks like the whole delivery and technique is geared for a younger person. I'm not sure it is harder on the body or not but. at times it appears it could be.

Walter doing it for fun once in a while is different

I think he means, the 20-30 yr olds on tour now, after doing it consistently for years and years, will the wear and tear the two handed style takes on their body allow them to continue doing it when they get to that age.

So many different thoughts on the two-handed style. I also thought about switching to two-hands if it comes down to not being able to bowl without pain one-handed. I don't see it as making the game easier. Sometimes some of the two-handlers can out-hook everyone else and score better on some oil patterns. But they don't score well on some oil patterns.

That's one video I'd love to see!

There's a few on YouTube. He does it when he's fooling around. I've only seen him throw it once in an actual match and it was his last frame where he already lost to Amleto Monacelli.
