Well, tried the new True Motion Leverage at Parkway tonight.
It was no tap sweeps.
I got there early and tried a practice game on the pair just to the right of the pair I would be bowling on tonight.
I stood right foot on 13 and rolled right up second arrow.
Time and again the ball would go right up and then roll hard left and crush the pocket.
Below is my first practice game with the True Motion:

Then I moved left to start league on our competition pair.
We get only 5 min of practice to get lined up so maybe I get 4 shots max.
I did not make good shots in practice so I really learned nothing.
So as play started I kept foot and target the same as I just had on the practice lane.
Ball would not roll up, it was skidding too far.
Too much oil now.
Started moving my target right a board at a time.
9 board, still too much oil.
8 board, still too much oil.
7 board, split.
Tried 7 again, another split.
Moved foot left, kept target the same.
Split.
Moved foot left again, washout.
Moved foot further right and brought target inside, still would not roll up.
And on the hunting went for two no tap games of 166 and 160.
Sad.
I was so hopeful for the True Motion Leverage.
Why could it crush the pins on the pair to the right, but was an over/under hell ball on my pair?
I was very depressed.
Meanwhile my partner with his Code Red had games of 250 and 300.
With head hung low I put the True Motion Leverage away, pulled out my True Motion with Axis drill, moved my target to 7 and my feet to 12 and gave it a try.
The ball rolled in beautifully again and again crushing the pocket hard.
It was night and day, such a perfect motion.
Closed with a 265 clean no tap game.
Had 5 normal strikes and 4 no tap strikes.
I guess I am just a stupid, stupid, stupid bowler.
I just can't realize when to put a ball back in the bag immediately.
I really, really wanted to use the True Motion Leverage and it was so powerful on the practice pair, but the competition pair hated the ball.
Well, I guess lesson learned...
Actually I am not sure what the lesson was...
