The approach

Two-handed is a different discipline. I coach it like one.

Two-handed is all I coach. The footwork, the timing, the release and the equipment demands are not the one-handed game with a second hand on the ball — and treating it that way is where most coaching falls short.

You send video. I work through it angle by angle and send back a technical breakdown: what's sound, what's costing you, and the exact work to fix it — with drills to take straight into practice. That's my own game in the clip at the top of the page, and there's a short walkthrough below of how the lessons run.

About me

Who you're working with

I'm Christopher Sloan — Ireland's only professional bowler, and the first Irish member of the PBA. I'm not a general coach who does a bit of two-handed on the side. Two-handed is my discipline: the footwork, the timing, the wrist and hand positions, and the equipment demands are all their own, and my coaching is built entirely around them.

I've won tournaments across Europe, Asia and the USA, taken bronze at the World Men's Championship, and represented Ireland since 2010 — I know what this game demands under pressure because I compete in it. I also understand the equipment side, not just the technique — I'm an IPSIA-accredited pro shop operator and a certified ball driller, which means I can look at your game and your gear together.

Away from competing I'm Chairperson and President of Tenpin Ireland, our national governing body, and a Sport Tour developer for the sport. I've presented coaching seminars across Europe, Asia and the USA, and coached players to European medals. What I teach here is the same material I deliver in those seminars — now one-to-one, on your schedule, wherever you bowl.

A word from Chris

Before you send anything, hear how I work

Who I am, why two-handed is all I coach, and what happens when you send me your game.

How it works

The process

Three steps. No travel, no scheduling around my diary — and you keep every analysis to refer back to.

STEP 01

Tell me about your game

You fill out a short form about your background, your goals, and what's frustrating you — so the analysis is grounded in your game, not just what I see on screen.

STEP 02

Film a few clips

Two to five clips on your phone at 720p — at least one from behind and one from the side, one shot per file. Full setup guide below.

STEP 03

Get your breakdown

I analyze your video angle by angle and send back a personalized video breakdown with drills you can take straight to the lanes.

How to record your video

Good video makes a real difference to the quality of your analysis. Here's exactly where to stand and how to set up your phone so I can see everything I need.

What angles to capture

Send two to five clips — the more angles, the better. These give me what I need:

From behind: phone vertical, at shoulder height, your whole body in frame. Don't zoom in.

From the side: phone horizontal, following you from first step to release. Stay centered; you can stop at the release.

Three-quarter view: stand a step or two behind and a few to the side, phone vertical, whole swing and footwork visible.

Camera settings

Record at 720p, 30 fps — that's the sweet spot for motion analysis. Slow-motion and anything above 720p create files that are harder to work with, so stick with standard video at 720p.

A few things to keep in mind

Send two to five clips, at least one from behind and one from the side. Trim each to a single shot — one shot per file. Accepted formats: .MOV, .MP4, .AVI. Please don't send YouTube links; I need the actual video file.

How to send it

Preferred: attach your files directly on the Video Upload form. Or: upload to Dropbox / Google Drive / OneDrive and share the link via the contact form.

Turnaround

You'll usually have your analysis back within [CONFIRM: 2–5] business days of submitting your video. If it's been longer, check your spam folder first — that's the most common reason a lesson link goes missing — then get in touch and I'll follow up.

What's in each lesson

Comprehensive 2H Assessment

€99

New to my coaching, or ready for a complete baseline of your two-handed game? Start here.

I start by reading your bowling history — your background, what's frustrating you, and what you're trying to achieve — so the analysis is grounded in your game, not just what I see on screen. Then I work through your video angle by angle and give you specific, usable feedback you can take straight to the lanes.

What's included:

  • A review of your bowling history and goals
  • Multi-angle analysis of stance, swing, footwork, spine angle and ball direction
  • A breakdown of your two-handed release — rev rate, axis rotation, and hand position
  • A look at timing, launch and how the ball reads down the lane
  • A personalized wrap-up with specific drills and a clear plan for what to work on next

How to get started:

  1. Fill out the Bowler History Form — tell me about your game and what you want to improve.
  2. Purchase and upload your video on the Purchase & Upload form.

Follow-Up Evaluation

€49

Already worked with me? This is your check-in.

Send new video along with a quick note — what's improved, what still needs work, and what you're preparing for — and I'll give you a focused breakdown with specific adjustments to keep your game moving forward. It's the most affordable way to stay sharp between bigger sessions, and a good idea before a tournament or a new league season.

How to get started:

  1. Fill out the Follow-Up Survey — tell me what's working and what to focus on.
  2. Purchase and upload on the Purchase & Upload form.

The Season Bundle

€299

Real improvement takes time and repetition, and this is built around that. You start with a full assessment, then check in with me up to five more times over the next year as your game evolves. Each follow-up keeps you on track, deals with new challenges, and locks in the progress you've made.

What's included:

  • A full initial assessment with a personalized improvement plan
  • Five follow-up evaluations with video breakdowns and targeted guidance
  • Email support between sessions
  • Progress tracked across all six sessions

How to get started:

  1. Fill out the Bowler History Form.
  2. Purchase the bundle and upload your first video on the Purchase & Upload form.
  3. Send follow-up clips anytime over the next 12 months via the Video Upload form.

On the lanes

On the lanes

These are the angles I coach from — the approach, the swing, the release and the follow-through, on tour and in the pits. Tap any clip to watch. It's the same view I'll be looking at when I break down your game.

Clips are muted and loop. Tap or hover a clip to play — others pause automatically. Drag or scroll sideways for more.

Optional tier

The 2H Collective

If you're not ready for one-to-one lessons yet, the Collective is a lower-cost way in. You get a growing library of two-handed coaching videos, a monthly live group Q&A with me, and a private community of two-handed bowlers to train alongside. It's optional, and it's separate from the lessons above.

FAQ

Questions

How do virtual lessons actually work?
You fill out a short form about your game, film a few clips on your phone, and send them over. I analyze them and send back a personalized video breakdown with drills. No travel, no scheduling around my diary — and you keep every analysis to refer back to.
Who is this for?
League and competitive bowlers who want to switch to a two-handed release or sharpen the one they already have. If you're serious about improving and happy to put in practice between sessions, it works whether you're mid-conversion or chasing more revs.
Why two-handed only?
Because it's a different game, and it deserves a coach who lives in it. The footwork, release, wrist positions and equipment needs aren't the same as the one-handed style, and most coaches treat it as an afterthought. It's all I do, so the feedback is specific rather than generic.
Do I need to buy the guides too?
No. The guides are optional. Every lesson already includes drills drawn from the same frameworks — the guides just let you study one topic in full on your own.
Which lesson should I start with?
If we haven't worked together, start with the free call or the Comprehensive Assessment. If we have, a Follow-Up Evaluation is your quick check-in. Not sure? Book the free call and I'll point you the right way.
What do I need to film?
Just a phone and somewhere to bowl. There's a full guide above — the short version is two to five clips at 720p, at least one from behind and one from the side, one shot per file.
