Free lesson Friday from the #1 bowling coach in the world

[@WesleyLow]

Doesn't get any better than that.

[@maximilianjarzyna5214]

Thank you so much! I recently switched to the two-handed style after playing one-handed for about 12 years and this was exactly the video I was hoping for

[@WesleyLow]

I'm so happy that this video can help you out. I hope to have more in the future for you.

[@DGV_Tips]

As a newbie silver coach, I gotta say, Bakes is the man! His coach’s eye is incredible to catch that minor mechanical difference.

[@MRnesBeat]

Decided to switch to 2 handed yesterday and the first channel I find is another lefty? I’m blessed

[@TrendSettaRico]

Much needed insight, please give more for us 2 handers

[@WesleyLow]

I will do my best. Hopefully more to come. Thank you for watching.

[@TrendSettaRico]

@@WesleyLow appreciate your effort young sir, good run at the hof classic, and I look forward to continuing to see your journey. #RespectTheGrind

[@jp300]

Great video Wesley. Thanks for share

[@shoobyboy]

Very helpful! I hope there are more of these kinds of videos to come

[@MrThinkImPossible]

Awesome vid bro. Mark Baker is a legend. That's nice you are able to train with him!

[@WesleyLow]

Yes he is a legend. Amazing guy.

[@deist3r]

More videos like this Wesley. This is massively helpful as a 2H. You're one of the few high level 2H on youtube

[@WesleyLow]

I will do my bet to have content like this more often.

[@deist3r]

@@WesleyLow I appreciate it man. I learned quite a bit just from the info you share in your videos

[@alexmerel9924]

Good guys

[@flippperboy]

Thanks Wesley. I’m seeing Mark towards the end of the month. My brother hooked me up with a lesson for my Christmas present. I hope it works out.

[@XxDEMPOxX]

Great video Wes. Thanks for the introduction to Mark. It looks like he knows a lot about your game but these points are great for any two handed/no thumb bowlers. Especially that a two hander's ball speed comes from the legs.

[@silversilentrd]

This man is amazing

[@pkx99]

Thanks for sharing great help to me!!

[@WesleyLow]

Thank you so much. I hope it was very helpful.

[@doctorrobert60]

Wesley-great video with the Great Mark Baker! I am left handed but definitely a senior bowler bowling one handed but enjoy watching you two handers tear up the lanes. I remember a young man named Mark Baker that competed well on the PBA tour and I always pulled for him being from Orange County. Great that he has become such a great coach. One of my team members Pam had few lessons with Mark and he kept it simple and easy to understand since she is beginner. Thank you Wesley and thank you Mark!

[@gtrraider84]

Love this video dude we need more Mark and you together!

[@WesleyLow]

That would be great.

[@jonahpotter2621]

more of this!!!

[@gusk]

Thanks a lot for this video. I am still pretty new to the 2handed style, started this season. After 22 years of bowling 1handed. The speed is definatly something i need to work on. Its now about 24 kph at the sensor, so probably 26-27 at release since the ball slows down. But i am also a pretty tall guy (194 cm) with even taller legs compared to my height (my legs are over 120 cm, very small upper body). The lenghten out the arms is a good tip to not let it overhook too soon

[@JKGYHTM]

Awesome information.

[@WesleyLow]

Thank you so much :)

[@adser6267]

Amazing video

[@johnthebowlingking9481]

Wesley, Mark coached me in the mid 90's in Orange CA. at Regal Lanes. Super nice guy.

[@WesleyLow]

One of the best. Can't beat it .

[@REAL_SportsTalk]

Dude. I just switched to two-handed last week and this video couldn't have come at a better time for me. I needed ALL of this. Thanks for the upload👌

[@WesleyLow]

Amazing. I hope to have more videos out for you soon then. Check back on the channel for future vids.

[@REAL_SportsTalk]

@@WesleyLow yessir

[@chace96]

Nice video.

[@xPandora__]

first thing I notice between the first shots with the shoulder coming out to far and it being steady and not coming forward is Wesley's balance during and after the release were cleaner and more stable on the shots with the shoulder not coming more forward

[@maxxhyatt1265]

Great video !! As a fellow 2 handed bowler what is your mph off the hand and the pin deck on average? Ik it can very depending of ball and oil conditions thanks a lot keep up the good work

[@biddle0785]

Please do more of this!!! I’m a two handed around 190 average and still very forced. I love the instruction in this!!!

[@WesleyLow]

Awesome. I'm glad this was of great use to you. I hope to get more out for you.

[@rooksbaby4169]

Biddle's Vlogs what’s ur rev rate I have about the same average my rev rate is 522?

[@biddle0785]

rooksbaby not entirely sure. I throw around 16.7 - 17.4 MPH and I think a 440

[@rooksbaby4169]

Biddle's Vlogs see I’m like 19.5-20 mph

[@LanceSanity]

this is great! I want to get into bowling and I'm a lefty

[@WesleyLow]

Thank you so much :) Thank you for watching

[@TITOFROG1]

Mark Baker is a great coach. He had helped a lot of good bowlers. Wish he can help my game but guess I'm too old to improve my average.

[@mikekaupa9190]

thanks!

[@WesleyLow]

You're very welcome.

[@kapitan6]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you insert your thumb into the bowling ball with the 2-handed release? I seem to see your thumb in. Does the thumb in generate more (or less) revs? Thanks for your time Wesley.

[@NArai1858]

Thanks for the foot speed tips. No wonder my ball speed is slow because i walk slowly to throw the ball. Will try to speed up my feet to get higher ball speed 👍👍👍

[@WesleyLow]

I love it. I hope this video can be of great use to you :)

[@WesleyLow]

Thank you for watching bro. Nice meeting you

[@getsmartpaul]

Hi Wesley, how about a post before PBA regionals! Might bowl Belmo too !

[@michaelcalamia2420]

I have been two hand bowling for a few years and I’m having trouble with getting my speed up and being consistent any tips

[@brayangomez3471]

Dope video! I would appreciate some clips flipped for a right hand view

[@WesleyLow]

Will work on that in the future.

[@WesleyLow]

Thank you for watching :)

[@sidi3335]

great idea

[@justmakingthistoreply5085]

My lanes are always dry. Maybe I’m doing the same thing. Is this why my ball is tracking across the middle finger hole and sometimes even between the middle and ring? I don’t have the full roller layout

[@samuelgisvold7149]

I am a left handed bowler learning the two handed technique. What arrow do you release the ball at? I would like to improve my game and score any advice would help.

[@porto_bowls2807]

Ok with the shoulder i bowl five pin and i curve it like 10 pin but because your ball is only 3 to 5 lbs it's harder to find that spot when i drop my shoulder it always hookes to the 3 pin when it's squared i get it right in the pocket

[@Liquidmetal6661]

What a lovely guy the coach is! :D I'd learn a lot from him!

[@WesleyLow]

He's an awesome guy. Make sure to check out his KZbin channel more informative videos that he will be coming out with.

[@reachaces]

Can you make a video about your thumb in two handed style?? I really want to switch to thumb in, because it offers more control and hand position, as of right now no matter how hard I try I chicken leg it, fingers come around the side of the ball getting max axis rotation and any ball just wheels. So id love if you can make a video revolving around your thumb style because it seems it’s kicked over to compensate for two handing (not right below the two fingers) and id really love to do that. Thanks!

[@Jake5point0]

Here was a video I found with Wesley talking a bit about his grip. It is on another channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoOqgo2Lr6ueidk

[@will-nt772]

I know this video is a little old but i just saw this. Does wesley have his thumb in the ball? I didn't realize until now.

[@WesleyLow]

My thumb is and actually has always been in the bowl.

[@Atxtfb]

What weight ball for 2 finger grips? Do you typically use a lighter ball? I'm 6'2 230lbs with a 14 lb ball, but it still feels too heavy and makes my wrist hurt. Any advice would be appreciated ...

[@rooksbaby4169]

Nah keep the same weight I’m 6,2 150 and have four balls 2 14 2 15 I average 190 and my rev rate is 522 a heavier ball will make the pins explode.

[@izzatirfanzahri2154]

How about the step? Why must the first step must go a bit outside? And is it at the foul line is the exact spot you want to stand on it?

[@getsmartpaul]

Wes, helping to trigger “2 Hand Revolution” !

[@WesleyLow]

LETS GOOOOO

[@cybersteel8]

3:30 I literally cannot tell the difference between these two shots. They look identical, and I am keeping my eye on the shoulder and they are in the same position. I might need an explanation because it's incredibly difficult for me to tell what is going on here.

[@FallenHeartBeat]

New to two handed bowling. been practicing and going twice a week for a few months. have my own ball. my biggest issue currently is sometimes im having that issue where my ball wants to hook before it gets to the pocket. is this a prime example of maybe my walk up is too slow so my ball isnt getting down the lane fast enough before friction kicks in? i keep thinking im throwing the ball with too much side or i should try to throw it slightly straighter but it feels like im throwing it properly. any advice would be great from anyone with two handed experience!

[@piouswhale]

Ball speed for us two handers is about foot speed and how quickly you can build and dump the momentum associated with that. If your ball is hooking well before pocket you need to increase ball speed or decrease revs. You could also try moving left or right depending which is your dominant hand. If your speed is adequate and its still hooking, try lofting over gutters. Also depends on oil pattern. There is a chart you can google for ball speed vs revs thats pretty accurate

[@alz1246]

Bro what is the different between good n bad? @3:16

[@jackeasum5383]

Is drilling a ball pin down a good idea or just getting a less stronger ball a better idea ?

[@stevenvance7553]

Jack Easum I’ll give you advice that was given to me. NEVER drill a ball to make it what you want. Buy a ball that’s actually is designed to do what want. If you want arcs and continuous, buy an arced continuous ball not an asymmetric that you drilled pinned down to smooth out.

[@TheRRide]

Those first throws look exactly the same LMAO

[@jptheredsoxfan]

I thought they were super similar as well, but during the back motion i noticed his hand does come up under the ball more in the good one... other than that idk chief

[@MarkASmithJr]

Aaron5.0 exactly the same

[@agoo7581]

I would like Wesley to explain the difference here. I spent about ten minutes trying to find the difference, but then again, I have a lot of room for improvement myself.

[@TheRRide]

@@agoo7581 i agree, i would like him to explain a little more

[@NPKhero300]

A LOT DIFFERENT! idk how you cant tell the difference

[@markwilliamburright8160]

How come you went from Columbia to Motiv

[@wb9076]

7:51 lol

[@jrazor28]

Been wanting to learn how to throw 2 handed. Any chance ya can come meet me at Sam's town one Monday afternoon and coach me a bit

[@WesleyLow]

Unfortunately I live in Wichita, Kansas right now so that would not be possible. Maybe in the future.

[@tmoore944]

I struggle with staying behind the ball like you do how can I correct that

[@COOLPAGE543]

Sean Don @wesleylow make a video pleaseee

[@certifiedcringeclassic378]

Thanks for the video. I’ve been bowling for a little over 2 years now and 2handed for 2 years exactly and just had my first 300 last week after a 299 a month ago. A lot of this video relates for me and i can’t wait to get on the lanes and practice getting my swing a little longer and maybe working on my steps. The problem for me is I literally don’t know anything about bowling, i just know i like the stand in the middle and I apparently throw a really good two handed ball also lefty lol. So when people try to explain to me boards and oil patterns and stuff I get a bit confused, I literally only know how to get up there and roll the ball. Anyway, if there’s anything you think could help me lmk otherwise great video! like I said will be working on some of this soon

[@lovsiic]

how tall are you Wesley

[@benlacson9775]

Is this in Vegas?

[@WesleyLow]

Yes, it was filmed at The Orleans

[@keithidota]

Look, ma! 2 hands!

[@WesleyLow]

She loves it

[@WAYFURSMEDIA]

1v1 2 handed backup ball in socal? 👀👀👀 lmk LOL

[@AussiePillow1]

i heard that wesley uses his thumb as a two hander. Was/is that true?

[@Jake5point0]

It is true

[@Zudoarichidoari]

yep. pause at 6:42

[@WesleyLow]

This is very true. The thumb is in my ball entirely

[@kervynmehta4544]

How do you increase your footwork speed while keep balance? @wesleylow

[@WesleyLow]

Difficult. Lots of practice for sure. But just need to practice running up to the line. Hopefully not literally.

[@jessicacasiano2368]

First like

[@WesleyLow]

Love it

[@Zudoarichidoari]

The real question though, how do you use your thumb? I can't comprehend how two-handers use their thumb. I tried it once and the results were dreadful.

[@WesleyLow]

Probably because I am a psycho ;) But I learned how to do it from a young age so I think it just stuck with me.

[@CyberDuckyPlayz]

Bru your crazy 242 your first game

[@WesleyLow]

LOL Wild right

[@JackTheGiantOne]

I bowl two handed. I have a different style than you. I have a question. Why do you look down? In the before and after, you look almost straight down to the floor. From the camera’s perspective that’s what I see. I stare down a pin. If I’m trying to strike, as a right hander, I’ll stare down the 6 pin and that should give me the look I need to hook into the head pin. Standing at the far left dot, or first left of center depending on my ball. To reinforce what I asked, why do you look to the floor?

[@pausegold1438]

Yo anyone out here bowl with two hands but straight

[@WesleyLow]

Me, that's why I throw it so hard

[@jonatdonut_5749]

You sound like Symfuhny (fortnite player)

[@WesleyLow]

That could be my alternative job ;)

[@Johnnypeso123]

Tell me good and bad aint look identical 😂

[@Interdicted]

Wesley, i dont get something, hopefully you can help me understand. why is that i see a lot of efforts on the delivery of the shots by most 2 handers, but Belmo looks a lot more effortless (with the exception of making the single pin spares)

[@haikalmatnoor7173]

yes it is.belmo used his technique very well so hes at his best efficiency.but basically dont get fooled by his 'effortless'.u can see when he plays on less oily lanes(which he need to throw harder), he tends to sweat, u can see on his 2 frames throw as an exampe, u can see hes sweating just after 2 sets of 2 frames throw.so technically yes hes sweating like we all twohanded but his efficiencies is alot more than typical house bowlers.hope it helps.

[@alansabin7487]

i don't see the hop or skip in you game. ???

[@aidanmccaffrey8210]

Yeah mark hasn’t uploaded in 5 years

[@WesleyLow]

He will be soon :)

[@aidanmccaffrey8210]

Wesley Low let’s go

[@kingdomrhye1180]

I’m still not a fan of two handed bowling

[@bosoxdanc1]

Cool?

[@skylerhawley2861]

Why you watching the video then? 😂

[@jyee2217]

Hard to see difference...subtle

[@l0riz624]

The real question: whats better? One handed or two handed?

[@michaelcherry6010]

One is not better than the other. It's about what works best for you and your game.

[@gusk]

It depends on what suits your style best. For some people this can be 1 handed, for others this is 2handed. I switched after 22 years bowling 1handed because of a few reasons, but i bowled an average of 200 1handed, switched 5 months ago, and still in the 190+ region. But i do think i can score higher as a 2hander

[@AndresCuervoArt]

Both videos look exactly the same 😅😂
