Two-Handed Bowling: Ball Start

More Pronounced than Traditional Bowler

The bowling ball goes vertical before it comes down into the swing.

Get into the Swing Vertically

The ball starts vertical and drops into the swing quickly.

Similar Shape to a Traditional Bowler

The ball start is more rounded than the other two-handed ball starts and mimics the traditional style bowler’s ball start.

The timing for two-handed bowlers is later. This is how more leverage and revolutions are obtained comparatively to a traditional bowler.

No matter how you initiate the swing as a two-handed bowler, the one universal goal is good posture. There should be no tension in the lower back.

If there is tension in the lower back, your posture will be bent too far forward throughout the approach, resulting in loss of leverage, a weak release, inaccurate targeting, and improper ball motion.
