PBA One-Handers vs. Two-Handers

The clash of styles that has defined the modern game and divided bowling fandom takes center stage. EJ Tackett leads a team of traditional one-handed players against two-handed pioneer Jason Belmonte and his squad of revolutionaries.

Competitors

The top five one-handed and two-handed players earned their spot based on individual points throughout the PBA World Series of Bowling XVI.

Tournament Details

The one-handed and two-handed teams square off in a race-to-three Baker match. The Baker format, utilized in the PBA Elite League, places an emphasis on teamwork.

Rotating through the lineup, each player will bowl two frames per game. The anchor will bowl the fifth and 10th frames.

If the teams split the first four games, each team will select three players to each throw a single shot. The highest combined total will win; a one-ball roll-off will be used to break any ties.

PBA Strike Derby

Strikes are the name of the game in this exhilarating competition. The Strike Derby pushes the world’s top players to their physical limits as they race to throw as many strikes as possible in a two-minute window.

Tournament Details

The Strike Derby represents competitive bowling in its purest form: Players have two minutes to throw as many strikes as possible and the player with the most strikes moves on. It’s that simple.
