Has anybody ever told you that you are a very effective teacher? Great videos and breakdowns. I appreciated your attention to detail and your ability to correctly anticipate the kinds of questions your audience may have. Thank you for the great videos!

[@BigSkyBowler]

Thank you for the compliment! I don't believe anyone has ever told me that. I am very glad that these videos have helped so many. You are very welcome!

[@autoslay532]

These are by far the best tutorials for 2 handed bowling on KZbin. Great work, and good luck on your PBA journey!

[@BigSkyBowler]

Thank you!

[@jusdesireable3224]

I've never heard anyone say about the hand position on the top of the ball. This explains so much for my game. Thanks for the explanation.

[@BigSkyBowler]

Your welcome!

[@benstanley4676]

You have some of the best 2 handed tips on KZbin I went from 185 to 200avg after watching the 2nd hand tips videos

[@BigSkyBowler]

That is one heck of an improvement and I am glad I could help you achieve that! Thank you for watching the video!

[@antmoose90]

For the past few months I have been enjoying the two handed method but havent felt like I improved in a while so these videos have been great for getting me to think of things that I havent really considered before.

[@BigSkyBowler]

That's awesome! I'm glad that this video series has helped you and so many others. Thanks for watching and please share!

[@IAmTheEggMan111]

You really know your stuff. Great lesson

[@BigSkyBowler]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@stephenhardy8905]

I started bowling last September and have been using the one handed method. I am going to try to switch to two handed and look forward to using your tips. I really like the way you show what your are talking about before you ever throw a ball. Most bowling videos expect someone to be able to see what they are talking about in full motion. Thanks again.

[@BigSkyBowler]

Thank you! I really try to explain things in a way that will make sense to people and do my best to show clear examples. Thank you for watching! Let me know how your journey into throwing two handed turns out!

[@lionmartian9046]

Went bowling yesterday, got my high game of 195 using the “Off hand method” you made a video on. Thank you so much! Looks like my girlfriend is gonna be a little mad today cuz I need to go try this out!

[@BigSkyBowler]

That's awesome dude! I'm very glad it helped you! Lol - I'm not responsible for angry girlfriends :)

[@Adam-cp1dl]

I subscribed to you for this video series I was doing bad after coming back off an lot of time of not bowling but this series but more importantly this video helped my scores the most I am back up to the 200s.

[@BigSkyBowler]

Awesome! I am glad I was able to help! Thank you for watching and subscribing!

[@angleside1547]

Thank you for the help, haven’t been able to find that many two handed videos like these. Most of the videos that I have found are all wash and repeat drills, which is a surprise since two handed is so prominent now

[@BigSkyBowler]

You are very welcome and thank you for watching! Plenty more to come in this series as there is a ton to talk about!

[@getsmartpaul]

So what other KZbinrs are providing these quality lessons?

[@mantid83]

Thanks for the tip! I will try it out today.

[@BigSkyBowler]

Your welcome! If you don't do this already, it will take some work to implement.

[@aminsatt7904]

aaaaa, shoulder thingy is new too😗

[@BigSkyBowler]

Glad I could help!

[@T.K.F.]

Huh. I always thought it was the steps that generates the speed. I'm just saying my opinion but I think having the swing be straight is good. Swing the ball behind the back is bad. That's why you see a lot of pros walk to the right (especially belmo) so he can create some space for the swing.

[@BigSkyBowler]

Combination of steps and swing together. If your flexible enough to have a straighter arm swing while keeping a straight swing path.

[@RocafellaJiggaman]

I picked up 3-4 MPH on my ball speed due to this. Cant believe I was missing this part.

[@BigSkyBowler]

That is an awesome improvement! I'm glad my video was able to help!

[@getsmartpaul]

How do you measure ball speed ? You have some kind of speed gun?

[@genkers]

​@@getsmartpaulmost bowling lane screen has the mph on there somewhere. Usually near the bottom

[@getsmartpaul]

@@genkers Hi, Ok I will look for it or ask the desk if they have it on the screen. Thanks

[@bbulla]

Your videos are good. Thanks! But in your demo at the end you mention how you turn the shoulders to get ball height in the backswing, yet your ball height barely gets above your waist. Can you explain??

[@BigSkyBowler]

It only goes as high as your range of motion allows. The more spine tilt you have, the higher the swing can be. Back when I made this video my spine tilt wasn't as horizontal as it is now.

[@getsmartpaul]

Hi from Las Vegas, your detailed tutorials are a pleasure to watch. The SHOULDER ROTATION was hard for me to understand until you broke it down for both one and two handers. Discussing how to practice shoulder rotation was also very important to build proper muscle memory when on the lanes. THANKS !

[@BigSkyBowler]

Your welcome! Thank you!

[@mansnotprot1544]

Wish these had all been around when i started like 2 years ago, lord knows what bad habits i have now haha

@@BigSkyBowler Do you offer any coaching/ video analyses for just regular people?

[@BigSkyBowler]

I do! You can get more details through facebook: facebook.com/JeremiahRooneyBowling?mibextid=ZbWKwL

[@getsmartpaul]

Belmo, Simonson and Troup were all active to watch

[@DaMaxchi]

Do you change the amount of shoulder rotation based on your intended line and ball path? So if you are playing more up the boards do you use less rotation as opposed to playing deep with more rotation? Thanks for posting these videos!!!

[@BigSkyBowler]

I do not as this is a vital part of the two handed swing. My feet control my launch angles. If I need more up the boards, I square my feet up. If I'm trying to project the ball to the right, my feet point more to the right. Your welcome, and thank you for watching!

[@canefan17]

Just curious, but I noticed when you throw the ball gets a bit too much around you in backswing. Is that ok or is it preferred for the ball to work more up and behind you?

[@BigSkyBowler]

Every two hander has a tendency to get the ball behind their heads a bit, especially those who have a more muscle engaged swing. Small amounts are ok (one ball width) but if it's more than that, you will definitely want to work on solving that issue. The best way to work on this is to try and reduce the amount of muscle your using to engage your back swing.

[@canefan17]

@@BigSkyBowler makes sense. Thanks

[@BigSkyBowler]

@@canefan17 Your welcome!

[@larryhudson1963]

I'm a 60yo male, right with thumb, trying to convert to two handed no thumb. I'm hooking a plastic gut to gut. Problem is my ball speed, it's only 9.6 mph so far, I'm standing at the line with my right foot 3 foot behind my left, with me trying to project the ball forward.

[@BigSkyBowler]

With only 9 MPH at the pins, I can imagine it'd quite difficult to control the added rev rate. If you feel that your timing is good and shoulder use is correct,, try moving your feet a bit faster to gain some ball speed. Take a look at some videos of Walter Ray Williams JR and his 2 handed throw, he's able to get the ball up to 15-16 at the pins.

[@agustinduenas5902]

Is the thumb hole still drilled for the two-handed bowler, or are just the finger holes and no thumb hole?

[@BigSkyBowler]

Normally just two fingers however, there are some two handers who use their thumb.

[@retireby40_lalala]

When I try to rotate my shoulders, it causes the ball to go behind my back, causing chicken wing swing.. How do i fix this?

[@BigSkyBowler]

Without seeing a video, I would guess that your shoulders are rotating horizontally instead of vertically. This is the most common cause of a chicken wing swing.

[@retireby40_lalala]

@@BigSkyBowler thanks for the reply! Is it possible to send u my video?

[@SkepticalVex]

6:46 you say this is improper. 8:33 it looks like you do this exact "improper technique" please help me understand.

[@BigSkyBowler]

When I made this video, I was struggling with the issue the video discusses. Following the technique I outlined helped me correct my arm swing immensely.

[@SkepticalVex]

@@BigSkyBowler I may have missed something but I was so confused because it looked the same and I was confused what was right and what was wrong, I have been trying to make my backswing like a pendulum and keep my head in line.

[@BigSkyBowler]

@@SkepticalVex there is another drill you can do to help. It's called the wall drill. I'm putting a video together about this.

[@Charmander009]

I can’t bowl 2 handed. Without gravity and pendalum swing I feel like I’m muscling the ball

[@BigSkyBowler]

I can understand that. The biggest thing I dealt with when I changed from one handed to two handed was feeling like I was muscling the ball. The two handed swing does include more muscle use than not. It's a very awkward feeling at first! Thanks for watching!
