Based on my experience with my True Motion with Axis Weight layout and the positives and negatives of that layout on that ball, my PSO, knowing my bowling style very well, recommended I get another True Motion and drill this one up as strong as possible.
He felt that it would likely be a perfect match for me.
The Axis Weight is basically taking the core out of play and taking all the shape out of the True Motion.
He recommended putting a Leverage Layout with pin at 3 3/8" on the new True Motion so I could get some flare and shape.
So we got the ball and drilled it up and here is what it looks like:
The final statics on the ball actually came out very balanced:
Total Weight: 14 lb 1 1/2 oz
Negative Side: 1/8 oz
Thumb: 1/4 oz
Top: 1/8 oz
Tonight was supposed to be league at Surf Bowl, but at the last minute Surf emailed me to tell me they had to do a bye for our league this week.
Some Mother/Son thing took all the lanes.
But they put an extra week of money into our prize fund on the house to make it up to us.
So 6 of us decided to go instead to AMF Eagle lanes today to do our scratch tournament competition.
There was an all day party there taking up the whole house, but after it was over we got in on a pair.
We figured massive carry down from plastic balls and likely no hook would be the case.
The other players were using reactive balls and that is just what was happening, their balls were going too long and not hooking in the back.
Then I got up with the new True Motion with Leverage drill.
OMG, OMG...
Hook monster!
I could not get it up the lane!
I moved as far left as right foot on 22 rolling over third arrow and it was still hard to keep it on the pocket side.
If I moved right a bit and pushed it over second arrow out to 7 then the ball died immediately.
There was definitely oil on these lanes but just not enough for this ball.
No one using reactive was getting any hook at all, their balls just went straight.
But not so with me.
It was amazing actually.
The reaction was the earliest and strongest reaction I have ever seen on a ball I have ever used.
Even the Widow Urethane was not this early.
Also the flare lines I was getting on the True Motion were incredible.
Me, a low rev bowler, was getting 13 flare lines!
Don't believe me? Count them on the photo below.
This ball simply could not, not roll.
I am amazed.
This ball is so super strong it is hard to believe it is the same ball design as my True Motion with Axis drill.
I will use it Monday in league at Parkway and hopefully the normal house shot there will allow this ball to get up the lane.
At AMF I just had to go Brooklyn on everything since that is the only shot I had.
Wow. Just wow.
