2 Handed Technique - Swing Drills with Wesley Low

Last time, we worked on spine tilt and today, we're going to work on the swing. It's very common for 2-handers to get their swing too high and use too much upper body rather than your core and legs. In this video, you'll see 2 drills to help you keep the ball lower to your hip and focus on generating strength through your core! #MOTIVNATION

Quick and to the point! You explained in less than 3 minutes what some people take 20 minutes to demonstrate.

[@mikemcgovern9053]

I agree. Too high of a backswing is bad. Keep arm full stiff and straight on pullback and youll get more power too

[@biddle0785]

Yes!! More of these please!

[@TrevorTheBowler]

Honestly never realized Wesley used his thumb.

[@bhartissimo]

I just noticed that too.

[@getsmartpaul]

Thanks Wesley! Good luck at PBA Regionals. Beat Belmo!!!!

nice video and great to understand nuances. an unrelated question to this video's tip. is it common for 2-handers to use their thumb?

[@TemptedTrigger]

I know about 7 two handed bowlers and none of us use thumb in the ball. But this guy bowled a 900 so maybe we should switch lol

[@danielq2358]

I remember him mentioning that he uses his thumb to better hold onto the ball. This was 6 years ago somewhere in Illinois, so my memory could be a bit blurry.

[@getsmartpaul]

@@TemptedTriggerremember this GUY is a championship bowler ! Doesn’t matter where his thumb is . He was a puny youth bowler and needed help gripping the ball.

Hi, saw ur insert fingers with the tapes, Do we insert 1 tip or 2 tip of our fingers in the holes?

[@kyleschindler4239]

just started bowling recently and i decided to go with the two handed style because i wanted to hook the ball, but dont have my own ball so im hooking plastic house balls, and i am not sure whats causing it but im getting lots of elbow pain and pain in the bones of my forearms, someone please help lol. bowled my first game over 200 last week and it killed my arm. dont want to burn out before i can really enjoy bowling.

Take it slow, start with the 1 step drill, focusing on the release; stay behind the ball and project it onto the lane. Then the 3 step drill where you do the skip step and throw the ball down lane (keeping in mind your one step approach) The best advice I got was to perfect each aspect of my game before progressing to the full approach because there’s so many variables to consider. As long as you have your fundamentals down in your muscle memory, you’re all set.

[@LivingTheDream345]

You're having arm/elbow pain because you don't have a proper fitted grip. House balls never provide this. Go to your pro shop and get a ball fitted to your grip so you don't have to squeeze to hold on to it. That will solve the arm/elbow pain.

[@jasperx8480]

Do I need to put my fingers into the holes or i dont need to ?

[@mikehoncho9459]

2 fingers no thumb

[@jasperx8480]

@@mikehoncho9459 is there any videos show how to release the ball ? I feel like I am doing it wrong since my wrist is quite sore

You forget to point that the most important thing about the swing is unbending the arm
