Thread: Transferring to bowling 2-handed.

  1. #1

    Default Transferring to bowling 2-handed.

    Recently I have been bowling 2 handed because of an injury to my thumb.

    And let me say, bowling 2 handed is a lot more fun then bowling 1 handed. It has ben the most fun I've had bowling in a long time. I have gotten okay scores, I am usually around 160-180, and I think that once I get this style down, I could be really good at it.

    Anyone else here transfer from 1 handed to 2 handed?

    I've played around with it but that's all. I'm not comfortable enough with it for more than that.

    With the skip step I have in my approach, it almost feels like I was meant to bowl that way. It is way more comfortable for me.

    i did then went back to just using 2 fingers, after a few weeks of bowling 2 handed my back would give in, i guess the stress of the upper torso movement..... my back isnt the greatest 2 bulging disks

    2 handed was fun though

    lower, middle and upper. this old man wasn't meant to lean over into a horizontal position. Horizontal is for only one thing...............................

    tried going to 2-handed, but puts a lot of strain on the back and upper arm (maybe i did it wrong).. so returned to 1 handed hook
