Do you think 1 handed bowling will go extinct one day?

Technique

Since younger pros are all going two handed, i think eventually 1 handed might become very fringe among pros, it’s just way more efficient to learn 2 handed bowling and people interested in bowling quickly see how much easier power they can generate.

The REAL interesting question if it will become the mainstream way of bowling even casually. Like if you go to a bowling alley you’ll see all the house balls having no thumbs and the 2 handed delivery; a ‘fosbury flop’ level of change that completely changes the way the game is thought of. One handed might be relegated to be only used by the elderly who cant be bend at all, so they would throw a 6 pound ball one handed. Most able bodied people should be able to bowl 2 handed.
