    As a 73 year old long time bowler of one hand, I plan to switch to 2 hands this summer with the hope of bowling 2-handed in league next fall.
    After watching Parker bowl the tour all those years, I never knew he was so funny. I mean really humorous! 😂
    This is an awesome video. Justin bowled really well for throwing plastic.
    I hope Parker recovered quickly.

      In my Sunday night league on old wood with left over oil from the league before my league and I have a sanded plastic ball I throw A LOT it is the Geico viz-a-ball that you would see on TV when the original inferno came out all blue with the black Gecko foot prints . I cashed in Vegas with it and I impressed ej tackett and Marshal Kent with me throwing it. And my dad heard Marshal reply to a guy saying who is that and Marshal said my name and they both said they haven't seen anyone hook a plastic ball like me before. And I am still using that ball now. And it is going to Vegas this year

    Parker, I remember when Justin and Brandon were maybe under 6 and your daughter was still a baby. We bowled together during a Pro-Am at Thurway Lanes in Cheektowaga, NY. And after the pro am was done for the day, Justin and Brandon were bowling and you were right there helping them start their great bowling careers. You are a great person and enjoyed my time bowling with you!

    I started taking bowling seriously back in 1995 at the age of 19. Back then when I first started I was using the old 2 finger method that's what we called it back then not 2 handed. It was easier to turn the ball up with revs using only 2 fingers vs a traditional 2 finger-thumb style. People pushed me away from using 2 fingers and 2 hands is my point. People told me that is not bowling people told me to stop and practice my 3 finger handed traditional style. Still to this day, I use a one-handed 3 three-finger style. At one point in my life, I was a scratch player bowled 5 nights a week league. I am from Battlecreek Michigan I feel I grew up and learned in one of the greatest bowling towns in Michigan. Parker 3, I got the chance to meet you once at M66 in Battlecreek one night you subbed in on the Scratch league. My buddy's dad shot 300 on ya! Parker 3 you are one of my favorite pros from back in my bowling prime of the 90s you and Walter Ray. Oh yea I loved ya in Kingpin!

    The one thing everyone fails to see is, although 2 handed bowling is taking over, Justin Bohn, or Anthony Simonsen, or whoever other 2 handed bowlers out there are on tour, they won't come close to the achievements of Parker, WRWJr, Duke, PDW, Couch. These guys were built different. 2 handed bowling made it easy for everyone to score.

  • @r.s.5431
    @r.s.5431 11 місяців тому +1

    I used to bowl a lot up until about 28 years ago. Gotta say the only time I saw someone bowling two handed back then was when little kids bowled, because they couldn't hold the weight of a six-pound ball. Not sure when this became a thing. I guess the reason is to get more spin on the ball? I used to get plenty of spin one-handed. Is there that much more oil on the lanes now?

    • @caduceusjules
      @caduceusjules 10 місяців тому +1

      I'd say it's just an evolution of the cranker style, and the two players who popularised it - Jason Belmonte and Osku Palermaa - did indeed need to use both hands as kids; except that they never stopped doing so even as they got older, and this style just developed naturally as a result.
      Players like EJ Tackett continue to show that you can still generate similar revs with one hand, but it's generally still a lot easier to achieve higher rev rates with two hands. Combined with Belmonte's incredible success as a pro, and it's no surprise that the style is so much more popular these days.

Chances are they started One Handed and they can crush you with either style. Had some guy after league pot bowl me for $100 a game, I grabbed a house ball off the rack and threw it one handed for 3 games and beat him all three lol. I didn't take his money, I just told him that he should respect the choice of style because Bowling is Bowling.
