Is there a web page where you can learn how to bowl 2 handed? Or do most just go out there and wing it and see what happens?

Most of us, atleast the ones that are good, started doing it when we were very very young, when the ball was too heavy for us, thats how its starts, then you just put an approach to it over time and bring the ball to your side. I know I started bowling like that when I was 4, Belmo and Osku were the same way they both started it when they were very young. Not sure about Cassidy, but Youtube would be as close to a website your gonna get.

I read an article that described the two handed technique in detail. Don't have the link at work. I'll try to remember to post the link when I get home. If you don't see it this evening, PM me a reminder (damn Alzheimer's!)

2 handed bowling

why in the world would you want to learn this. Its the worse way to learn how to bowl. The style to me is a joke. Bowling is a 1 handed game not 2 because you cant hack it like the rest of the world. 2 handed bowling is a disgrace to the sport of bowling. Take ur pick bowl 1 handed and make it in the sport or choke like the rest of the so called 2 handed bowlers that think they are good

hahahaha at ucumin2....are you crazy, some of the best bowlers in the world are 2 handed...get out of 1940 and into the real world...bowling is a game of many different styles that can win...walter ray looks like total fool when bowls with his head going up and down and popping up at the line but guess what he has the most wins ever. dont get mad that you cant bowl like the 2handers and create the power and speed they have...

if anything is a joke, you are

Try this link: http://bowlingknowledge.info/images/stories/slowinski_btm_july_07_2_handed.pdf

Its an article by Joe Slowinski on the 2 handed approach, very informative.

Also, Osku has various videos of himself with different camera angle during his approach: www.oskupalermaa.fi

Take ur pick bowl 1 handed and make it in the sport or choke like the rest of the so called 2 handed bowlers that think they are good

Seriously get out of the stone age, I can bowl one handed and play straight up 10 like a dunce like you and score all I want to,just like Osku can go on youtube and watch him bowl 1 handed, its EASY, VERY EASY. But I love being able to be versatile and take my game to the next level and be the best I can be, and thats 2 handed, I can play straight down 10 or I can play 30-10 with all of the different hand/wrist/top hand adjustments you can make with 2 hands it makes you SO versatile when you get good at it and understand the changes and learn to be able to cut the revs down and bring them up and cut the speed down on the heavy and pump it up on the dry, we can do that and do it with the best of them. Read this months US Bowler, look at the piece about Belmo and read WRW Jr's(every old last century bowlers hero) take on two handed bowling, GUESS WHAT? HE'S DOING IT TOO!, hes practicing bowling 2 handed so that he can use it on the heavy patterns where he can't play the big line inside like the high revver's. Come on, if the greatest bowler on tour is doing it, it has to be good. Give it about 5-6 more years, I guarantee there will be 5-6 of us on tour, good luck.

Not living in the stone age guys just think 2 handers are a joke. I have seen Jason Belmonte bowling and to me nothing special. The times i have seen him the guy has choked. So if thats who you want to bring up sorry but he needs to stay out of the U.S and bowling were people like seeing him choke Australia. With PBA giving him an expemtion thats even a big laugh. Its simple look at the title winners and see who is 2 handed. Hmm thats tough NONE because its not constist. For all you guys who think you can dominate 2 handed go for it just bring ur wallet.

You do realize 2-handers HAVE won in international competition before and have done well for Team USA, right?

The object of the game is to roll the ball down the lane and knock down all 10 pins. There is no one way to do it right! I personally think that at least the two-handed delivery is much more effective way to magically gain tons of revs over the no-thumb one handed delivery. (It offers much more control at least) It is NOT the best method for all conditions, much the same as the one-handed high rev release is not the best method for all conditions, and the one-handed low rev release is not the best for all conditions.

ucumin2 · « **Reply #10 on:** December 04, 2008, 05:47:24 PM »

So they have won international titles point being what. 1 title 2 titles maybe 3 and that is good why . When they can even come close too 10 -15 titles then there maybe something to talk about. There is a reason why they cant win and dont bowl in the U.S. because they cant and wont win. Like i said from all i have seen not constist at all.

2 handed is a new type of thing, yes there have been some before and have won regionals etc. in the US but havent been on the main stage and havent go a lot of publicity like now. But its new so how could they have titles already?, Osku's entered 2 tournaments ever here and made the show once at the US Open!, Belmo has entered 5 I believe, and has cashed in all 5, yes hes not doing good this week but its the cheetah not great for high revs guys. Did WRW cash in his first 5 events? NO, did Norm Duke make the show in his second tournament? NO, and Osku's was a very tough shot and a major, just not any old normal tournament. As for consistent, watch a tape of the Weber Cup or the World Ten Pin masters where Osku or Belmo bowl and they show the lines where they play, both of them are within a half a board of there mark every shot. Which is better than most on tour, especially with the lines they are playing. We've been putting up with people like you all of our lives, if you read Jasons Bio or Osku's Bio, they talk about people telling them there doing it the wrong way or not bowling the way there supposed to, and I went through the same thing, but once you beat all of those people like we all have, there attitudes change a bit, which is also talked about, we do things our own way and always will.
