Great analysis thank you! Would love to see more of these soon! i definitely agree that belmo has one of the best forms. His balance, spine tilt and swing are truly world class. What is your opinion on the amount of control he has to change speeds at will for easier control. As for someone who is still fairly new to bowling (since March, also two handed) What are other tips and tricks for a more accurate shot?

@BigSkyBowler

Your welcome and thank you for watching! My opinion? His ability to control everything so smoothly when he needs to is exactly why he is the best bowler in the world. His physical game is just amazing and its what allows him to adjust everything as necessary. Back when he first came on tour he had less capability than he has now. This is a fine example of someone learning how to become the most versatile player on tour. He can bang it up the gutter when he needs to and he can get deep and slow hook it when he needs to. I would recommend watching my series on keys to the two handed game on my channel: kzread.info/head/PL0RuV1yjxFnYDGTplAn47pkqQ51uihxbn These videos include many different tips to helping two-handers become more consistent.

Nice video. Good work.

I always take my first step to the left, then go straight up during the skip step, I keep my hips open. If I don't keep my hips open, I will miss my mark inside every time. I also relax my arm on the swing, definitely helps get speed on the ball.

He makes it look effortless and now I can see why. It’s his arms being more relaxed and less tense. I’m going to have to implement that in my swing

I'm in the same boat. I injured my bicep pretty bad 4 weeks ago bowling for the 2nd time in years throwing a 2 finger hook with a house ball. I joined a warm up league to get back into bowling and my bicep was hurting within a few throws. However i ended the first game with a 231. I should had stopped but because of the good score I kept bowling and eventually had to switch to just a straight ball because my bicep was hurting so bad. Anyways woke up the next day with the bicep super swollen and been in recovery mode ever since. Been watching a bunch of two-handed bowling content and I believe that it would take a lot of pressure off the bicep and make it to where I can bowl again.

Cool videos! Can I request an analysis of Ryland Breese? He's got a trippy style and it would be cool to see it broken down 😊

Hmmm... I've never heard of him, but I'll take a look.

I just started transitioning to 2 handed this season, about 8 weeks in. You mentioned that most 2 handed bowlers don't plant their trail leg, and I found that rather odd. You didn't really dive into it, but was curious if there's more insight to this. I assume since I was a 1H bowler first, the classic mentality of driving my trail toe into the approach, just carried over, but I never even thought about it, until you mentioned it in this video. Just curious.

@BigSkyBowler

Жыл бұрын

It really comes down to how much spine tilt you are using in your approach. If your not using much spine tilt, keeping the trail leg on the floor isn't too difficult. As your spine tilt increases, your trail leg naturally wants to come off the floor.

You would be correct, because it's a combination of spine tilt and proper shoulder alignment. In the case of a two handed bowler, you cannot achieve a high back swing with just shoulder alignment. They work together.

@@BigSkyBowler The majority of people are two-handed bowlers. I think you meant those who throw with two hands. But Belmonte actually throws with one hand/arm also, all he's doing is holding the ball longer with both hands before he releases with the right.

They have been using specto more and more often now so they are estimating off hand. In years past, it was always at the pins. Either way, you can usually calculate your speed off your hand easy with your speed from the pins. Speed at the pins + 2.
