Hi Big Sky, I've seen other teachers stress the Yo-yo release but I never understood it. This video shows that the cupped wrist must relax and let the ball roll off as fast as possible to generate revs. Now I have to try it. Thanks Big Sky !
Your welcome!
Good info. Will try tomorrow. Thanks.
Good luck!
Thanks for the tip! I will try that this weekend!!!
Did it work?
@@BigSkyBowler Still working on it!!! :D
Thanks for the tips
Your welcome
Big sky you are the goat for two handed tips! Thank you man, I appreciate this helpful knowledge a lot. At least, the way you present information compared to others makes the most sense to me.
Thank you for the compliment, that means a lot to me!
Another video coming out tomorrow!
@@BigSkyBowler you’re welcome. I look forward to it. 👍
Really really appreciate this vid by the way man I made sure to subscribe cause I didn’t know this information. I be tryin to practice and hate practicing wrong or ways that aren’t giving me help.
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing! Glad I'm able to help.
@@BigSkyBowler how does the lessons work? I just send video of me throwing or is it zoom?
You would send me video of you bowling, from different camera perspectives. I would critique your game and send you back a private CZcams video with personal instruction on what to do to improve your game.
Great! I'll practice all ur suggestions later tonight 🔝
LMK how it goes!
Well now i have to adjust my ball speed coz with all that rotation it hooks too much. I'll go back and watch again ur vids on it!!
Really enjoy and appreciate what you do here. Been bowling for about two years now and I'm about a 160 avg. Really trying to work on my game and your videos are very helpful. Watching these videos are making me realize how sloppy my game is
I'm glad these videos are helping!
Keep working and you will improve!
@@BigSkyBowler Yes, I don't have a whole lot of money to be going to the bowling alley all the time, so I've been working on my 5 step approach at home, practicing with a toy ball on relaxing my arm from the backswing and releasing it low. I know it's not the same as an actual 15 pound ball, but I'm hoping the repetitions will build in some muscle memory
@@Stemanar it will for sure! You can also get a 15 lb slam ball, usually used for weight training, and use it for drills at home.
I’m in a casual league and I’m the only 2-handed player. So glad I found your videos. I’ve got some great techniques to try out and experiment with.
me too, I thought the league I joined would have a few 2 handers so i could get an education but i am the only one.
Awesome! Thanks for subbing!
This guy really knows his stuff. Very impressive
Thank you!
Damn good video. Gave me a good idea on what I need to change in my game since I'm new to 2hand bowling. I have a good release my hand is just loose n not cupped. I'll try cupping more n the yoyo affect.
I notice with my hand loose at times I get more up the back of the ball for more of a straight ball but when I actually cup it I'm more consistent with my revs n my angles
@briansouders2203 excellent! You can still put forward rotation on the ball with a Yoyo release with some practice.
Same. I did the cupped a ton but no yo-yo
Love your channel. Thank you for sharing this info with the bowling community. Ive been bowling for 30 years one handed but recently starting having issue with thumb swelling so im trying to learn the 2 handed style. Question, should i use the same finger tip grips of my one handed shot or do the fingers need to go further down into the holes?
Thank you and you are welcome!
On the fingers:
It's up to the individual bowler to decide what feels best. Usually too much finger is a bad thing.
One thing that will definitely need to change is your finger pitches. The majority of two handed bowlers need more middle finger reverse pitch to get the ball track away from your fingers.
I really appreciate your channel. I'm a high school coach trying to learn as much as I can about the two hand technique. It's hard to coach something you don't do yourself but I'm trying! Your videos have made it much easier.
I'm glad it's helping! I agree, it's hard to coach something that you don't do yourself.
I've had to learn more about one handed bowling now that I'm giving lessons.
10 out of my 12 bowlers are two handers. I’d say the majority of our conference and all tournaments are two handers now as well. It’s been fun to learn more about it. Thanks!
@@mikes7164 video coming out at 3 today, about a unique training tool to help two handers learn the proper swing.
I’m having a lot of trouble releasing the ball two handed my hand goes from inside to the outside of the ball like brushing or hugging the ball “hand shake motion” in order to hook the ball it spins 90 degrees but lacks power speed and aim consistency, but If I try to release from the back of the ball it just rolls end over end and goes straight so I’m confused cause I see pros do a diagonal 45 degree push to left gutter but the ball still travels forward to the brake point
It sounds like to me you do not understand exactly how to rotate a bowling ball. You are applying axis tilt instead of access rotation at your release. To apply axis rotation, imagine that you're opening a round doorknob at the release point with your hand.
In order to do this properly your hand has to remain underneath the bowling ball and not get on top of the bowling ball.
I've been using a cupped/uncupped release but have noticed that the back of my fingers actually hurt when I uncup during the release because my fingers catches the top edge of the finger holes. Do you think that my pitches are too forward (1/8 reverse) and I would benefit with more reverse?
It could help. Most two-handers want forward pitch on their middle fingers and reverse pitch on their ring fingers to emphasize dominance with the middle finger at release.
I would recommend checking with your PSO when it comes to making finger pitch adjustments and if you decide to, start small with 1/8" changes.
Another item to consider is how beveled if at all, your finger holes are. If they are not beveled at all, you may want to have your PSO bevel the leading edges a bit to help reduce the pain.
@@BigSkyBowler Thanks for the response and insights. I think I will try and experiment with my pitches. In the meantime, I'll bevel the the edges as you suggested. I usually keep my edges on the sharp side but I could always bevel the top edges only as a start. I enjoy all your videos. Good job!
I am a senior bowler who has been out of the game for a little ng time. I'm seriousley thinking about converting to two handed. Is it possible at my age.?
It is very possible. Just look at Walter Ray Williams Jr. He bowled two handed when he needed the extra power.
I would advise some coaching however to ensure that you learn properly without getting hurt.
I've got virtual lessons available through patreon.
How do you prevent missing your target left! I have a tendency to pull shots badly left at times.
Misses left are most common when you have late timing. That is moving the ball too late in the ball start phase.
Maybe try moving it a bit earlier.
@@BigSkyBowler Thank you! I will try that!
@@BigSkyBowler I take 5 steps, and the first 2 are slower. I start the ball in the 3rd step typically. So that could very well be too late.
@@JC-xg5ve yes that is very late. I would recommend starting the ball movement after step 1 completes, or as you start step 2.
will the ball tend to go straighter and hook later
Depends on your rotation. If your coming around the ball a ton, then yes.

So we don’t use our middle two fingers to flick the ball? Also, I’m sure you’ve heard the handshake at the end for release. If we are supposed to just let our wrist relax, and do the yo-yo how do we get the ball to spins sideways and not end over end? I thought we were supposed to try and come up the side of the ball
It all comes down to the direction our fingers are pointing as the ball rolls off your hand.
If you want forward roll, your middle fingers point at 12 o'clock. If you want side roll, they point at 10 o'clock (as a right hander).
I have heard the handshake... very old method or style of teaching ball rotation.
In the old days, before ball cores were as advanced as they are now, bowlers had to generate shape with their hands. These days, the balls cores generate the hook all by themselves. It's best to stay behind the ball instead of rotating around the ball and allow the core to do the work for you.
@@BigSkyBowler gotcha so in a way I just need to turn my hand in?
Think of your palm as the face of a clock.
Would love to see your shot. Kinda like a barber, I want to see how you do it before I let you teach me lol I'm a one hander tho so likely won't be trying this but it's my opinion try not to hate me too hard

One handed or two, releasing the ball like a yoyo is the most powerful release.
After about a decade of experimenting, I'm going 2 handed next year. It feels WAY more natural than with my thumb. I get to sprint to the foul line, I get to have a very fast swing and NO thumb pain.
2 handed IS the future. Sorry boomers.
i use 2 hand with thumb so i can’t do this
Sure you can! In fact, the yoyo release was made popular by thumb bowlers.
You just have to deal with making sure that your thumb clears the ball before you start to impart rotation. If you don't, your asking for one bad day.
@@BigSkyBowleri’m sorry i was mainly looking at the part where the ball is resting basically on your forearm not the yoyo technique
I encourage you to take a look at Chris Barnes as an example of someone who begins their approach with the ball against his forearm.
It is possible, although not as easy with your thumb in the ball.
