Bend it like Belmonte
Phil has been talking to Australian ten-pin bowler Jason Belmonte who is making waves with his two-handed bowling technique.
If you're curious as to how he does it, take a look below.
(We can't be responsible for content on YouTube but suffice to say that there's a lot more of Jason out there for those that want to look...)
Listen out for the interview on Saturday's Weekend Breakfast - from 6am.

This is ridiculous. My wife uses a similar technique but bowls the ball out of the back of the hand. Surprisingly effective but not within the laws of the game. The ball should be bowled in a similar action to crown green bowls, with the added use of the thumb and fingers. Thats what I tell her if she beats me anyway. I would suggest this Aussie uses a lighter ball, maybe a '10 or a '12. Then he would be able to lift it one handed and bowl like the rest of us men.
