Thread: 1 or 2 handed bowling?

    We are still waiting to see any supported data or physical proof that back up your original statements.

    I think two handed is better is because you get double accuracy, loft and power

    Two handers generally do not struggle with spares as much as they used to.

    Two handed is especially helpful on a sport pattern.

    Can you please explain your obsession with the 2 handed style of bowling? It's strange being that you don't use that style of bowling.

    I watched my nephew's junior league last Saturday. 36 kids from the age of 8-18, and not a single one of them threw two handed. Since I'm from a reasonably sized metropolitan area, I'd have to say that 2-handed bowling is not the new norm.

    I've only seen 1 adult bowler and zero youth bowlers bowling 2 handed here in Vegas, but I'm guessing there are a couple more.

    I also took note that nobody from age 50 & up was bowling 2 handed during the Southern Nevada USBC Senior Singles Tournament 2 weeks ago. I'll see if there are any there this weekend. Pretty sure there are not going to be any.

    Based on the video presented here, (and the description) he bowls two handed, what he doesn't do is bowl underhanded.

    In my years of bowling, the only time I saw someone use a technique like his was from someone in the "short bus" crowd.

    However I found what must be a long lost relative of his.



    Supposedly the video is of a person named Matt Jones... USBC# 5482-420

    if the pros and USBC champion bowlers were trained during there youth in 80s 90s 00s two handed scores would be higher and sport would be healthier would you rather carry a heavy box one handed or two handed?
