I’m two handed. I started last year. Tried bowling one handed to start and could generate hook. I’m 30. My buddies told me if they were just starting they would do two handed so I did. Just shot 654 for my best night ever last night. Your videos helped me understand bowling a lot. Appreciate it.

Same here, im 15 and also do the two handed. My dad thinks its wierd but i got a 691 at league the otherday so i think its fine 😂

I have bowled one handed for 30 years. After seeing a friend of mine try two handed, I watch a ton of videos, including this one, to understand how it works. Things I struggle with are keeping the shoulder down, speed (only 14mph) and keeping the ball close to my body and ankle on release. I love this video and all it has to offer!

[@lukejackson2618]

I started one-handed when I was in high school and into college. Didn't play from college to this last summer(15ish years later). A couple hockey related injuries made it so two-handed is my new bowling style. Absolutely loving it! Your reviews, tips, and joy in the sport has been wonderful to watch and learn from.

[@jaywhey8822]

Was one handed, thumbless the first 20 years of my life. Had a real bad injury to my dominant wrist and couldn't use one hand due to very limited Range of Motion and overall less wrist strength that I couldn't get back. Went two-handed, sucked for about a year, something finally clicked half-way through my first league. Now I am consistently in the top of our league against some very high scratch bowlers. Wish I would've learned initially as a kid, maybe I would be on TV already if I did. xD

[@Htiger3841705]

Keep shooting this kind of informative content in this channel! The spare drill is also important for two-handed bowlers too. Hope this kind of content will assist more bowlers in the world. Love you guys!

[@caseymccormick862]

So I just started my first bowling league ever and have always bowled with two fingers at first I was not really using both my hands. I could not really grasp how to release the ball for consistency and this video step by step really helped me out. Right after watching it I was able to go to league and used what I learned from here and hit above my average for all three games. Thank you very much for this!

[@tylucianhill5420]

Thank you!! I just tried 2 handed yesterday and the kid that helped me(he is oneyear older than me) sent me this. I tried 2 handed because when I would throw 1 handed, it would burn my fingers on the release. With two handed, it seemed like my shots were more consistent.

[@devinlanouette9432]

more two handed tips please. i’ve been a 2 handed since i was 4 but i bowled lefty with no fingers in the whole until i was 12. i picked bowling back up a year ago and i’m now 18 and have started bowling righty with two fingers. i love these vids they’re so helpful

[@brandoneric9785]

I started two hand bowling about two years ago. I use to bowl one hand with no thumb. I found it hard on my wrist. I saw Belmo on TV and instantly changed. At first people made fun of me. My game has developed since starting and I now get alot of respect. Thank you for the awesome video!!

[@atown723]

I have bounced around TWICE. I started one hand when just casually bowling, I transitioned into two-handed when I figured out how to make more hook and was intrigued by the uniqueness of the style and even started my first league two-handed. Surprisingly, I went back to one handed but thumbless based off a dare from my bowling buddy. I found more balance, more control and still the same hook potential as a two-hander and was inspired by Tom Daugherty.

[@jeffc2460]

I’m getting back into the sport after not bowling for years. I had torn the bicep of my bowling arm. Even after surgery, my arm is still not 100%. I was so glad to recently learn about two handed bowling. Thanks for your videos, very helpful!

[@lelandmanaois5709]

Growing up I started out one handed but without the thumb like Tom Daugherty. Then when I got more into bowling and got out of using house balls I tried doing one handed with the thumb. I kept practicing but wasn't getting comfortable or getting the RPM's I wanted. So that's when my cousins convinced me to do two handed since I was used to no thumb. I found to be more consistent the more I practiced and was getting more revolutions using two handed. Thank you for this breakdown video, definitely found this very helpful!

[@Frostecy]

By far the best two handed video! Thanks!

[@snoopy_79]

I bowled one handed for years. I didn’t pick up bowling again until a few years ago. My shoulder started giving me issues so I switched to two hand a little over a year ago and it felt great.

@@deadpolymers3416 this is good to hear. I’m 42 and a solid bowling but have been slumping this year and dealing with hand pain. Just tired of the thumb and drill and pain. I’m fairly athletic so I think I can do it quickly. The game knowledge should carry over for a quick switch I hope. Not to mention cheaper and easier drills lol. Question thou did you have all your balls redone or get one and just slowly convert or is it best to just go all in?

[@ethandilbeck254]

I actually started 2 handed when I was little because the pro shop didn't have drills small enough for my little fingers lol. But at the time 2 handed bowling was treated more as a handicap for little kids like me. Around age seven I was "moved up" to one handed bowling and I've been there since.

[@kylebreibart1858]

Started one-handed, then I bought my first reactive ball. Got my thumb stuck a few times in it, trying to get used to my new ball. I threw my ball in the air few times because of it and once in the alley next to me. Was so embarassed... Then I try one hand but with no thumb. It was difficult for me to control the hook as I put too much hook and not enough speed + it hursts my wrist after several games. This is why I am now playing 2 handed, which works better for me. But I still struggle with the speed : too much hook, not enough speed. I'll try to accelerate my approach like Jimoo is suggesting. Thanks a lot for the video ! Very helpful !

[@olliegass]

I’m switching to two handed this year due to a previous thumb injury that’s coming back to haunt me 🥺. Finally averaging 190+ and BOOM thumb hurts every time I bowl. Time to start fresh to continue doing what I love 💯

[@vcast5019]

I started 1 hand bowling back in HS. However my coach back then told me go heavy weights so he encouraged me to get a 15/16LB bowling ball. At the time I probably weighed 105lbs always had a trouble throwing the balls due to my wrist breaking. One day my buddies and I were hanging out at the lanes having fun and we all started 2 hand bowling. I then realized that I was seeing so much more hook that my bowling balls have never done before. I stuck with 1 hand bowling but then took a break. 6 years later and still having the same issue with my wrist breaking. For fun I 2handed bowled and still saw an improvement I decided to stick with 2 hand bowling and I feel that was the move! Still learning and improving!

[@YourRealDaddy]

I've been a one handed bowler my whole life and started bowling 2 handed last week out of necessity. A month ago I threw a shot and my radial nerve in my arm got pinched, numbed half my hand, and caused me to drop the ball right in the gutter. The feeling came back after 30 seconds or so but I went home after that and didn't bowl again until last week in league. 1st shot and the same thing happened with my arm. I had to bowl 2 handed the rest of the night and actually did ok. A lifetime of manual labor has made it where I have to learn how to bowl all over again. On the plus side, I have more stamina because it's less of a load on my dominant arm, and I get a helluva rotation with little effort. I came here for some tips on my newfound style and got it so thanks for that 🤙🏾

[@jakgh0]

I decided to start 2 handed right as my league ended. It was at our banquet and I can't wait to continue to practice it. At this moment I still have my thumb in the ball since it was originally meant for one handed. I'm going to use this for now and I may try removing that hole.

[@jeremypalacios4425]

I was a one hander for a good while when I would bowl but man oh man I would just hurt my wrist. I just switched to 2 handed like a month ago and I like it. I’m a beginner at it still. Watching this video really gets me ready to go bowling again! I will apply these techniques and see what I like most. Thank you!

Have been watching your content for a while now, have enjoyed watching the different styles and all of the various balls you've reviewed. But a thumb issue has forced me to convert to 2H this year, so this series is greatly appreciated!

[@fantasygabe7227]

I'm generally around a 210 average when bowling 1 handed, switched to 2 handed at the end of last season as I felt I was pretty capped at what I was capable of 1 handed. I'm a pretty low rev player and feel I struggled on oily lanes getting any movement at big tournaments, where with a normal house shot I was alright. I also switch to two handed as a new challenge and it makes bowling more fun for me trying to learn something new. I shot about 531 week 1 of bowling this year, then shot 675 week 2 prebowling. Had my new high 2 handed game of 248 and shot like 212 and 217 my other. Looking forward to the challenge of getting better 2 handed and hoping to average 200 by the end of the year!

[@ak252m]

I was born in 88 so when I was a pre-teen getting into bowling 2 handed didnt quite exist yet. When I came back to the game in 2023 the decision to play 2 handed was easy, but the learning isnt easy! Fun though! Nice details in the video yall

This is great, I'm over 50 bowled league from like 7 years old until 16, then just for fun and random leagues depending on my work schedule, but developed arthritis in my thumb joints along with it being slightly dislocated according to the MRI. Never though of bowling without a thumb, this might give me a change to bowl again.

I've been a 1 handed bowler for years(no thumb).My highest book average was 188. I was told by the anchorman on my last team to try 2 handed bowling. At first,my average took a tumble.By the seventh week of 2 handed bowling,my average started to rise. Last week,during league bowling,I managed to average 193 for the night(196,166,218).I am 3 months away from my 62nd birthday,and quite athletic.

I bowl 2 handed as a left handed bowler I bowl 2 handed for awhile now and it helps me out lot I use 15 ponder bowling balls but I did started one handed but 2 handed helped me get better with one handed I work mostly on my speed and I bowl one handed just for fun

[@brianbredy7320]

I have been working my behind off as a one-handed bowler. The big problem I have been trying to overcome is the fact that my wrist is weak due to an injury long ago (missing some bones). I have limited mobility in my wrist and struggle to keep it cupped on my backswing. The result is a lot of pain and very little revs. I have managed to work my average to around 200 on a house shot despite my limitations. I was bowling with a two hander and realized that it might resolve my issues so I gave it a try. I have a long road ahead to get back to my average but I have a ton of revs and a great hook with no pain! It is something I thought I would share because I have not heard it called out that it could help people with wrist issues bowl that nice hook into the pocket. Thanks for all of your videos guys, they have been very helpful. Now if you can send Belmo here to give me a few tips that would be great, thanks. :)

[@aWildMoke]

I’ve bowled one handed my whole life but I went with my friend who bowls two handed last week. After trying out two handed it felt weird, but I was able to hook and my wrist didn’t hurt at all for once even though his ball is 3lbs heavier. I definitely want to practice two handed more.

[@brandonneal9196]

I've been a 2 finger bowler forever. But after a motorcycle accident my left leg with a titanium rod in it is making me think of going two handed. I'm upper body strong so this video has influenced me a lot. I have a plastic ball fir 10 pin. And a storm for hooking. I'm going to try this when I take my wife to bowl this weekend.

I’m 15, and I’ve really been getting into bowling for roughly 6 months, but I’ve been told that I’ve came along a lot faster than most people, and I have a pretty good release. I’m on a bowling team, and I was told that if I can get more practice in, I can beat my teammates that have been on the team for almost 5 years. This can really help me. I’m a two-hander,and I’ve tried one-handed before, and it didn’t work out, which is why I’m where I’m at now 😁

Recently came back from about 10 years off, held a solid 201 average one handed. Messed around with 2 handed after one of your videos and holding a 210, so I guess I get to cross over now lol.

[@TwilightZone13]

I started bowling ~3.5 years ago and for the first 1.5 years I bowled 1 handed and switched to 2 handed 2 years ago. Sometimes during practice I would try out a few shots 2 handed and joked about switching to 2 handed. One day I decided to make the switch but still decided to shoot my spares 1 handed because I can’t get my spare ball to go straight enough. Right now I am switching to shooting my spares 2 handed so that I have 1 consistent way of releasing the ball instead of 2 totally different ways. The reason I switched was because bowling 2 handed I get more hook and revs and I could barely hook the ball 1 handed and maybe a little bit because of Belmo.

[@kty4852]

Used to bowl one handed, but never could get the ball to hook, but then had a wrist injury that made me transition to two handed, and it feels comfortable, so I just stuck with this style.

[@53roger]

Great info!!! Just the video I was looking for. After a 40+ yr layoff (i am almost 70), I came back to bowling about 2 months ago. Back then I threw finger tip, bowled on leagues and had about 175-180 avg. Now, after 2 months I went from about 125 up to 170 avg. I am getting 50% strikes but my spares need more improvement. I am using a 14# ball bc i don't have the strength to throw a 15 or 16# ball. Watching my practice vids i can see my wrist is open way before the bottom of my swing. A I was wondering which way to go....- drop down to a 13#, or try 2 handed? My second question would be hard to answer definitively but just a rough guess: in my situation about how long do you think it would take for me to learn 2 handed, weeks? months? or don't even try it bc you can't teach old dogs new tricks 😀😀

[@mattvg1776]

@@aidenjaxhernandez Dumbest response I've ever heard. 1-handers always butt-hurt bc a new technique emerged with astounding success and they are pissed bc the 1-handed game took them so long to get good at. Even amongst 1-handers, there are profoundly different styles, and none would be considered the "easy way out" just bc they're different. Dick Fosbury was roundly criticized when he brought about the "Fosbury Flop" in high-jumping. Belmo heard people laugh at him and criticize him even in his youth when he was developing his 2-handed game. They laughed right up until he started kicking all their asses and setting one PBA record after another, and that continues to this day. 2-handers aren't successful bc they are taking performance enhancers. Your comparison to steroids is downright ignorant. Everything a 1-hander has to learn and concentrate on, a 2-hander does too. It's just different. Finally, if being a 2-hander was some automatic cheat code that makes all of them so much better, then they'd win every single time. As has been the case this year and many in the past, that ain't happening all the time. Belmo is amazing, as is Simo, but just look at how long Norm Duke was dominant or at what Tackett is doing this season. After years of observing and contemplating my feelings about bowling styles (I've been on both sides), I decided that telling somebody which style he chooses to utilize is either right or wrong, good or bad, or anything of the sort is kinda like telling a man how to drink his whiskey.....just don't do it and stay in your lane. Mind your own damned business and enjoy it in whichever way suits you most (unless you put coke in a really nice small batch bourbon.....that's just rude).

I’ve bowled one handed for decades and struggle with a decent hook. Today I have 2 handed a shot and was amazed at the difference. Score dropped as I was getting accustomed - definitely less comfortable starting out. But going to keep this up and see how it goes.

[@IamYouYouAreMeWeAreNothing]

How has it gone?

[@razzlethorn]

I'm a very large guy but never liked the feel of a heavy house ball with the huge holes, and the lighter ones didn't fit my hands at all. I couldn't get my hand underneath a house ball to generate any revs or hook whatsoever. Switching to two hands let me get comfortable using balls 14+ lbs and I just threw my first ever 200 game a week or so after switching to two hands. It was like my 3rd or 4th outing trying it. Before that my best game was maybe 117. I'm mind blown by the improvements it's made to my game. I was bowling straight, doing badly, and hurting my hand in the process. Now my hand hurts a good deal less and I'm bowling almost 100 over my straight scores. I'm sure if I had a coach I could have figured one handed bowling out eventually, but this is just so much more intuitive for me as a self taught bowler who just picked up the sport. I'm having a blast now and can't stay away from the alley lol.

I've been bowling one handed all my life and I try to do two handed but it didn't work out hopefully I'm gonna go back to this video again to rethink it

I'm 47, and bowled 1-hand righty from the ages of 4 - 42. Then went to 1-hand lefty due to a right wrist injury... back to 1-hand righty after 2 years... then 2-hand lefty after 1 year when the right wrist began hurting again. I've done a little bit of everything.

I believe i might be a two hander. I normally throw 1 handed, but after my thumbhole was drilled too big, and I couldn't get it fixed because my Pro shop was closed, not wanting to leave before I had even really began, I decided to throw it 2 handed. it just cliqued! I felt more in control, I had a significantly higher rev rate and it just felt amazing!

I'm a one handler bowler, but watching my son training with two hands, i had to give it a try and i gotta say i'm more comfortable and my arm and shoulder suffer less doing the two handed style.

I bowl 2 handed and started 2.5 years ago. First started with 1 handed no thumb and went 2 handed and it had more stability and comfortability. I go back to 1 handed [with thumb] to see what's wrong with certain parts of my game. Recently, i've been working on my back swing. The back swing for 1 handed had me muscle and pull the ball backward and my timing was waaaaay to quick with my arm speed compared to having a more gravitational approach. Been shooting 600+ series in league, but there is always something to improve on and shot my first 748 series 2 weeks ago.

I’m 65 and starting to get arthritis in my fingers , been bowling since I was 5, I thought I would switch to two handed this week or at least try it to see if this helps, your video was real helpful, any other suggestions I would be appreciated. Thank you!

[@BrainL101]

Been thinking about following my brother's footstep of being a bowler and so i was thinking why not double the speed and power? and wow your tips are nice (also props for clearing with the thumb thing first try i did i put my thumb and it did not worked)

I'm a 71-year-old Veteran. I bowl in a Veterans league. I hadn't bowled in 30 years before about three months ago. It's a whole different game with the oil on the lanes and all. I bought a weighted ball and I got to be ok, up to a 501 three game series. But, I developed a bowlers bump on the second finger of my right hand and looked it up. It's a tendon stretch. I'm going to try two-handed to take some of the stress off that finger. We'll see how it goes.

Found my new coach seeing as my real one went to jail lol. No other peoples videos help at all except this one. Thanks

[@ianhoneycutt3858]

I am a speed dominant 1 handed bowler currently trying to become a 2 handed bowler. I've been bowling for 11 years, and have recently started bowling on a few sport patterns. The reason I want to make this switch is simply because I have to play a very finite and direct line on even modified house shots dispite trying everything I can to put revs on the ball. I've gotten better with my accuracy 2 handed, but my ball speed is really slow (about 14 to 15 mph while 1 handed is 16 to 18 mph), so I have to find a way to increase ball speed so I don't have to loft the gutter woth my weakest ball on a house shot

[@robertwar7814]

I’m a one handed bowler and always have been. I tried two handed a couple of years ago and about killed myself 😂. It’s that transition step that does it. Went back to one handed but may try two handed with my thumb in it and see what happens.

[@michaelw_yee]

Tried 2 handed when I got back into bowling. Revs are crazy high

[@Killmonger209]

i first started two handed two fingers then switched to two handed and i improved so much more

[@Killmonger209]

one handed*
