- In 2009, Jason Belmonte became the first bowler using the two-handed style of delivery to win a PBA Tour title when he defeated Mike Fagan, 215-201, in The Bowling Foundation Long Island Classic in West Babylon, N.Y. The win kick-started a career that has amassed 17 Tour titles, including nine majors (as of April 15, 2018). Belmonte also set the record for the fastest player to reach $1 million in career earnings when he finished fourth in the Mark Roth-Marshall Holman PBA Doubles Championship in Portland, Maine, in 2017 - his 131st PBA Tour event. The previous record was 180 events by Wes Malott in winning the 2013 U.S. Open.

Imagine how many titles he would have today if the PBA still had a full tour with 30-40 tournaments a year.
Or being in tour full time
Many actually if you look now
If it wasn't for him I never would be as good as I am now
He came into this sport and started a revolution. He further supported the FACT that you can bowl with any style you want and make it work with enough practice. Some rather cynical people don't like that, and my advise to them would be to find another sport.
He will go down in history as the best bowler ever.
DaBish Best of this era maybe. Best ever? That's a stretch
He's the best right now maybe, not ever.
Noah Hayes when it’s all said and done, he WILL be the best ever, mark my words. He already has 9 majors (1 off the record) and he’s only in his mid 30s
DaBish Once he passes walter ray in titles, then he'll be declared the best.
He's on his way out, that back isn't going to hold up from bowling 2 handed. Jesper Svenson will have far more titles by the time he's belmo's age.
A legend was born
Jason belmonte was amazing in his PBA debut
Love Belmo!!
BeckyBirder hi
josef steiner hi 👋🏻
Belmo...”one of your best”. Was left the whole way dude. Great bowling
I like that belmonte used a plastic ball on the right lane.
The goat all the way from the beginning
Jeremiah Storey The start of a legend. Now, many bowlers use the two-handed style.
How unfortunate. Before long, players will be using cannons or machine guns.
@@terminat1 stfu
Little did they know that belmo would have 13 majors in 2020
He saved the PBA Tour.
4:56 Hurry! Hurry!.... Ohh... REALLY? 😂
He said “Carry, Carry”. He knew he missed left.
12 Majors later
little did this man know he would be the greatest of all time
How is Weber completing a second triple crown behind this???
Exactly my thoughts. And they already had one for Belmo winning a 4th USBC masters ranked somewhere like #32, so I didn't really see the point of this video.
Because it’s kinda bowling history?
I'm going to use the two-handed as iIdid at a young and when I use the one-handed style I struggled with the one-handed style.
Is that a hard ball??
why mike fagan use a brunswick ball?
Sponsored Ball Brands weren’t really standard back then than it is today.

Hello ,
Belmonte will be one of the all time greats it must be pleasing to him to see how far 2 handing has come in just 9 years from this moment, from 1 title to who knows how many. I'm pretty confident 2 handing will continue to take over the sport at a competitive level I feel like bowling is a bit understudied by sports science but I'd be surprised if there's any doubt 2 handing gives a mechanical advantage to delivering revs and consistency fuck thumbs I don't know how 1 handers do it honestly.
not if the USBC has anything to say about it!
So you're saying 2 handed release is superior to 1 hand? It is a matter of being consistent with your style AND adapting to lane conditions, swing and release style be damned. There are others on the tour that I wonder how the hell they do it but understand at the same time they made it work for them because they are the ones making money off of bowling.
the USBC isn't going to ban a technique. that would be beyond retarded, even more-so than their already sky-high level of retardedness.
No but it might hinder its effectiveness thats all!
there's no hindering the effectiveness of the style, at least not belmo's. he is just as if not more accurate and consistent than the most accurate and consistent one-handers, the difference is that his carry is better and he is the single most versatile bowler in the world. you can't combat that with oil or ball restrictions, the more accurate and consistent bowler with more power than 99% of them is going to win no matter the conditions, it's pretty simple.

2 handed should be outlawed.
Dude will have a bad back by 40.

Belmo fans make me laugh 😂 You all just say you are fans and wanna be like him because he wins. Not cause you actually like him or his style. All the bowlers I like I like because their style is like my own and they are great people. Dom Barrett is one of the most talented bowlers in the world.
jace welsh I bowl because of Belmo and learned his 2-handed bowling style. Am I considered a Belmo fan?
You make me puke and laugh/snort at the same time. It's a weird feeling.
Maybe we are all fans and wanna be like him because he 'wins'..? People would always put the greatest to be their role model. Belmo actually showed enough the whole world about his talent.
Odd how we can't like someone just because you don't. Why would we like him if we didn't enjoy his style anyway? you cheer for your favorites, we'll cheer for ours. Stop embarrassing yourself, you're just another pitiful hater.
I can only dream of bowling like him, or 2 handed at all, but I like Belmo because he is a great ambassador for the sport. And by all accounts, he is a genuine good person.
I prefer bowlers having to earn strikes, instead of being able to hit the 2-pin or flush with the head pin and yet still destroy the rack.
terminat1 so you are a power player hater? Good to know, but find a different sport. Bowling has changed and in my opinion, for the better.
@@DeanMcCain balls more reactive, pins are lighter as several experts have said 90% of strikes are luck--Jason would be just another good bowler 30 yrs ago with that style
