Yeah the Wired is a high performance ball. You never said anything about a low budget flipside arsenal. Although I kind of got the gist of it when you didn't mention the Alter Ego. Anyway, the Shock handles medium heavy and the Ego, although its specs say total hook of 46, actually hook less than that in real life, I think luckylefty said something along the lines of medium light. I'm not sure how much the Shock will outhook the Ego, and yeah they do have the same core and coverstock. 1200 sanded compared to 2000 polished. I'd stick a Wicked BRT in between if it were me.
Anyway, the Shock can't handle floods, so I guess it won't be a "complete" arsenal.
