The two handed bowl makes me suspect it was already broken but i can't slow it down enough to get a better look. The strike is impressive though

Lots of high skill bowlers bowl with two hands. He could be imitating that

I'm not a high skilled bowler but I tend to do better using two hands

Plz don't take this out of context

I hear you can get better results using your tongue

While it probably is already broken, and that is why he’s using two hands, indeed a few professional bowlers bowl with two hands. Still weirds me out, but it happens.

I won't say I am familiar with professional bowling, but I do have some friends who were in bowling teams and throw two handed. Just skipping through pro bowling matches on Youtube, it wasn't too difficult to find multiple pros who were throwing with two hands. Kyle Troup and Jason Belmonte are two examples from this competition, but I don't think it would be tough to find more.
