    Default 1 or 2 handed bowling?

    I think two handed is better is because you get double accuracy, loft and power
    Again during a recent event Belmo and Sim0nsen were in the finals. 2 finalist out of 4% of entries.
    Belmo only 3 time straight player of the year. Two handers generally do not struggle with spares as much as they used to.
    Two handed is especially helpful on a sport pattern.

    The big question will be how will 2 handers bodies hold up when the bowlers get older. Honestly I can't see Belmo bowling in the PBA50.

    How does two handed bowling make you twice as accurate?

    Why would being able to loft a ball twice as far be helpful?

    More power? Yeah maybe, but there are one handed bowlers that can crank the ball just as much.

    Alright 2 bowlers out of a 4% minority made it to the finals, what did that tell us or how does that indicate two handed bowling is better?

    Belmo only 3 time straight player of the year.
    What Belmo only throws a straight ball?

    Two handers generally do not struggle with spares as much as they used to.
    So Two-handers have practiced and are better at picking up spares now. How does that indicate that two handed bowling is better than using one?

    Okay, Explain why?



    Note: Throwing a bowling ball like a Rugby ball spin pass is not the same thing as what Belmo and the other two-handed approach bowlers are doing.

    I agree with this.

    IMO, it appears that the 2 handers put much more strain on their bodies than 1 handers/ especially when they take that hop at steps 4 & 5 (3 & 4 for some). I just looks like the knees are taking much more abuse, along with everything else.

    I certainly have no data to say that any of this is true. It's just an observation.

    I've watched the men's championships the last three weeks on cbs network, and all three winners were one handers.

    You need to concentrate on making your own game better, and stop trying to convince the rest of us that we should switch to two-handed bowling. Have you noticed that just about every time you make a comment on here, you get shredded?

    Belmo 3-time player of the year? Ever watch a tournament where he destroys a lane for everyone else bowling? Nothing illegal about that, but I'd be unhappy if I were out there. Also, last I watched, I didn't see him doing spectacular on the animal patterns.
    Old guy with power (15.5-16; 325). Current arsenal--Storm Summit, RotoGrip Idol Helios, Storm Phaze III, Storm SureLock (retired), Storm IQ Tour Nano and Motiv Rebel tank (spare/dry). High sanctioned game - 300 (5). High sanctioned series - 856. A.V. 300-s - 8. Longest string - 25.
    2024/2025 YTD highs--High game-288; high series-736

    In order for your opinion to have value you first must have credibility, you do not have that.

    This is just a poorly constructed list of unsubstantiated comments, what information do you have to back up "double accuracy, loft and power", or "especially helpful on sport pattern", and why would "not struggling as much as they used to" be a selling point.

    Since you don't use a style similar to the two handed bowlers you mention, what does this have to do with you. Maybe the question should be why should one bowl with a rugby throw instead of common two handed or single handed bowling.....show us the proof is has any value and deserves to be taken seriously.

    Honestly I don't consider you a "2 handed" style bowler. All 2 handers have a very similar style especially at the release but your style is nothing like that.
