Great Tips. Can you make a video on spare shooting for two handed bowlers. I can't find a good instruction for that anywhere especially on the release.

[@Jackal_Blitz]

You really need a plastic spare ball as a two hander. The increase in rev rate, as well as needing to support the ball with your dominant hand make the trick of flattening your wrist and throwing a reactive ball straight (like one handers can do) virtually impossible. Use the same release as you would with your reactive, just focus on your foot position at the start, and your target at the arrows. It's just geometry from there.

[@solitaryfrowns]

Plastic spare ball, don’t put any rev on the ball, flat hand it. You can slow the speed down too, with a plastic ball you shouldn’t hook even when slowing the ball speed. Give yourself room for error and practice specific shots:)

[@TCTICS]

Throw backups for 10 pin spares like I do. Cuz most the time as a right handed two handed bowler you’ll be left with right side spares

[@jermainescott3506]

Yo thanks for the drills I’m a 2 handed bowler and last Saturday I joined a bowling league so I will use these drills thanks man appreciate you

[@shuomao7869]

Very clear instructions and demonstration. Kudos to the coach! Will definitely try this training next time!

[@luizinhiolv]

Thank you for these drills. Request : 2 handed drills for changing axis tilt please.

[@Zxriah]

Facts

[@ChevyRedneckGFX]

Gotta be more behind/inside the ball or under

[@brianm6117]

Appreciate the tips Coach. My nephew has been throwing 2 handed for a few years now. My niece, his sister, is now trying to learn to 2 hand it as well. I actually took them bowling last night so she could work on 2 handed outside of youth league. Her release and finish isn't quite there and I was trying to have her do a few foul line and one step drills and she was still not quite getting the release down. I'll definitely have her watch this video as I believe the visual of someone that actually throws 2 handed will help her more than me, not being a 2 hander, trying to project how the finish should look.

[@kristenanderson5273]

I've been bowling 1 handed for years, but I've been curious about trying two handed bowling, even though I haven't seen many girls do it. I did it a few times last year to get a feel for what hooking the ball should feel like, and every time I go from one handed to two handed, something goes south, either the ball goes in the gutter or my left shoulder hurts a little. These are some great drills, guys. Next time I practice, maybe I will give these a try.

[@minecraftia14]

I’m 2 handed few years in. I can’t bowl one handed at all. I think it’s hard to break old habits

[@douglasperez5975]

@@minecraftia14 started bowling about 2 months now and at the start could never get anything with one hand and the guy at the bowling place told me to try 2 handed and I started getting better *still need to get better* and even sold me a bowling ball for 30 bucks and told me to practice and get better

[@SKRUBL0RD]

it's going to hurt for a while because you start using muscles you haven't used as much in 1 handed. you can really get used to it the more you do it, not just like 3 league games a week.

[@joelafser2558]

Been having thumb nerve pain. I’ve been a one handed bowler since I was 4 but the thumb nerve pain is getting worse, and I’m not sure I can get thru warmups plus 3 games off league. I’ve been averaging 210-220 the last 7 years but thinking about switching to two handed. Guess the good news is I can fall back to one handed for spares.

[@AHM0NK3Y]

I always switch between 2 hand and 1. These drills are great!

[@bowlingxp8345]

Nice tips thank you ! I especially liked the 1 step.

[@mickeycoffey6066]

I’m 46 years. Been throwing 2 handed since I was 12 years old. These are very good tips to improve your game. Another important tip is your steps. A lot of the young 2 handlers today are “running” to the foul line. Slow your steps down and keep everything in front of you. Also, feet together and your arm closer to your body at your starting position. This will greatly improve your ball placement on the lane. Good luck and good bowling!

[@steelefishing6650]

Makes perfect sense this video and what you said hopefully can make my 185 average go to 190s thanks!!

[@lukeehly9472]

Thx for the tip, now I can have more hook on my ball

[@leofarron6135]

I usually adjust to two-hands when my hip doesn't like the one-hand approach because of how low I dip at the end. I can release a bit higher with the same amount of control when I go two-handed. This video helped work on the technique because I feel the trickiest part about this approach is the footwork what to do when type of detail.

[@cynthiaredalen4254]

I love bowling, gonna try this technique

[@ethanperez4774]

Thanks for using a right handed 2 handed bowler in this one 😅

[@davidchien5305]

I noticed that at 2:04 under the key points the collapse of the wrist wasnt mentioned. Is it a must to collapse the wrist or it's fine hooking the ball straight from the cup wrist?

[@insidebowling]

While the collapsing of the wrist consistency isn't necessarily a must, I think it does help to have a more consistent release and ball roll. I can also help to get the ball on the lane more cleanly with less hitting up on the ball motion through the release. Thanks for your question and thanks for watching our videos!!

[@CosmicEagleYT]

hey man im 14 thx for the tips im striving to become the best

[@Mista808]

I'm trying to convert to a 2H bowler after bowling 30 years with a conventional one handed style. The highest my average has ever been was a 209 in leagues before I walked away from the sport for almost a decade. I got back into bowling about 6 months ago and not only was I shocked by how many 2H bowlers are out there compared to when I walked away from the sport, but I've also been having issues with my thumb during release. The issues with release since coming back to the sport had me thinking about transitioning to a 2H bowler. At first I wasn't serious about it but lately I've been practicing multiple days a week on my 2H release. My biggest issue right now is none of my balls are drilled for a 2H release. Because of that I'm having a very tough time with consistency but it's getting much better as of late. I also had an issue increasing my ball speed to match my 1 handed release speed but that also has been getting better as of late. If I can get my average up to a 180 or higher within about 6 months of practicing 2H that would give me the confidence to make the full switch.

[@JM-rf3lv]

Same for me after many years thinking of going to handed. Have Psoriasis on my hands and my bowling thumb is often swollen and cracked opened. Plus hoping it will help be regain some speed in the ball.

[@sriley064]

What if it's a 4 step player? wouldn't 2 step be better?

[@barkanellichasingdreams4142]

Hello. Why is his foul line upperbody position lower and the two other positions his upperbody is higher?

[@freeguy2833]

After bowling for 8 years when I was younger with one hand, I had so much inconsistencies with my thumb. Had to get my thumb hole re-drilled so many times and it just never worked. I had to really fight to get any kind of hook on the ball, and my thumb has never really felt comfortable inside a bowling ball. I'm seriously considering switching to two hands.

[@sauron3095]

What bowling balls do you recommend for two handed bowling?

[@chaebyrd8668]

More 2 hand tips please

[@chevyford8898]

Thanks Fellas

[@cbrdealer]

Shady's back.... back again...

[@SpencerDilbeck]

This is a good video

[@luissantiago2571]

Hi guys. Thanks for all the great tips. I’m a two hand bowler and I’ve been dealing with outer left thigh pain when bowling. What could be some reasons this is happening and how can I fix this issue please? I’d love some advice. Thank you!!! 🙏🏽

[@insidebowling]

Luis, might be a good idea to try our FREE trial at BackstageBowling.com and you can ask all 4 coaches these questions and more. Check it out!

[@Twizzybeatzz]

Hey man, I’ve been having that same issue. My problem was I was overworking my leg too much. I took a week off and did some yoga and leg stretches. Then, when you get back bowling, don’t push yourself too hard at first. Work up to that strength again. Best of luck.

[@thomasschafer846]

So are the bowling alleys open where your at?

[@wilson6717]

I live in California . I'm not sure they're ever going to open .

[@jtjt1836]

Bowling is going strong here in south Texas!

[@ImportMafia7]

I’ve been in a league since August. Alleys opened up here in Ohio in June

[@ASarma11]

The alleys are open in New York

[@zachhill9599]

Live in Oklahoma and the bowling alleys here have been open throughout the pandemic

[@austinholmes2603]

Can you make how to shoot at the 10 pin 2 handed plz

[@lipyu1738]

1:57

[@bread476]

The problem I had with bowling is that I released my left hand way before I released the ball causing the ball to hit the ground too early and lose momentum.

[@chriscraddick9519]

Started bowling 2 handed last November. Have bought bought a Storm Hyroad and a Black Widow 2 different pro shops drilled a ball. Both of them roll straight over finger holes what gives Chris

[@insidebowling]

It’s possible that you may need some more axis rotation to move the ball track off of the finger holes. Ideally the fingers will rotate from slightly left of the center of the ball counter clockwise to slightly to the right half of the ball at the release point. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

[@chriscraddick9519]

Thanks for your Reply, I also like the Q&A about the nightmare problem for the 10 pin. I bought my twin brother a plastic covered ball for his one handed 10 plan problem. I threw it for fun 2 handed and now I got my own Storm Ice in route to Pro Shop. So WHAT SHOULD THEY CHANGE ON LAYOUT THIS TIME. Lol Thanks Again Chris Craddick

[@ian.s5951]

Damn why people dislike this

[@sgazzz]

Are the fingers still in the ball with two hands or not? No one ever talks about how to actually hold the ball?!

[@AlohaRaceTeam]

why have so much spin that you end up in the left gutter everytime?

[@getsmartpaul]

This video fails to show the hop skip step which is so important .

[@djmikedropreviews]

Very dry lanes

[@geraldnichols1853]

nah.

[@rattler254]

God his arm swing is so distracting lol. Why do some bowlers do that? I understand like one follow-through swing...but like 5 or 6???

[@laylowfazo3624]

Take someone that doesn’t already know what they doing to shoot the video

[@jasonissel217]

39 years old, ya can't teach an old dog new tricks, I am good with one hand.

[@martinboyd3672]

Well I'm 50 Jason , and start of my season the lanes were flooded with little back end , so thought sod it ! and started 2handing it ! Got enough movement then lol but must admit its not easy getting the speed on the ball when the lanes were normal again so went back to 1 hand , great to show off though lol

[@Xxtictoc1216xX]

Yes do what this “pro” bowler does even though he makes 3+ shots no strikes

[@bryqi2229]

Like he said for the entirety of the video, it’s about release. you’re not gonna be getting strikes like a normal approach while doing foul line, 1 step, & 3 step throws. the closest shot in power compared to a normal approach would be the 3 step.

[@dantu5377]

Lol this is practice at 1/4 speed of regular bowling speed.

[@longjohndelaney6183]

Two handed bowling is an abomination!!

[@alansabin7487]

thanks for helping to ruin the real game of bowling
