A stronger pearl particle. The Venus covers that, but if you hit any sort of oil above medium with carrydown (i.e. a broken down medium-heavy tournament shot), you're in trouble.
Don't you have a little overlap with your Battle/AH and your VZ/OI? How are they laid out, and how are the covers prepped?
Assuming this is for a complete arsenal, the only true big gap I can see is between the OI and the Venus, depending on the drillings. Other than that, a small gap is between the AH and VZ, and below the Venus could probably go a Groove Urethane for true toast, since the Venus is a little too powerful for that.
Plus, your bowling style would help A LOT. Knowing the kind of revs/speed you put on the ball would help make suggestions easier, since we wouldn't have to guess as to if you're a low rev/high speed guy who needs something like the Battle on mediums, or if you rip the cover off the ball with rotation and the Battle only comes out when the ball comes back dripping.

My Battle and My Awesome Hook don't really over lap... My battle has less on the back then the Hook. If it is heavy oil which ball I use would depends on how the shot is playing.
The Battle is at... idk. Lol I need to put it at 800 eventually.
My Awesome Hook is at 500.
The OI and VZ overlap slightly... The OI is @ 500 Abralon with a High Gloss Compound and the VZ is at 360 with a little bit of that same compound but it's not enough to really put a gloss on the Vapor Zone
My Venus is versitile... it's drilled *guesstimate* About 4 inches slightly to the right and above my ring finger and the CG is about 70-80 Degrees with a hole on the pap. I usually use this ball if the backends aren't ripping to open them up a bit.
I have Medium Revs, Medium Speed... I'm pretty much you're basic tweener.
I'm willing to adjust the covers to fill in any gaps too.

Maybe a good strong solid reactive such as the Fury. A close second would be an Epic Odyssey, just something that you can leave dull that's strong but predictable.
