So the web tour came out recently, and I wonder how it compares with other balls with similar specs as above. I have the IQ tour and it works fine in straighter lines, and misses single pins if I bowl out in. Would the Web Tour be a good addition in house shots? Or would Venom Shock be better?

If you already have the IQ, then I wouldn't probably add the Web Tour. I would go Venom Shock over Web Tour. All 3 are going to be pretty similar and quite a bit of overlap in a small bag.

I don’t have either yet, but I will be picking one up. Leaning towards the web tour more because I prefer EBI. Is the cover stock on the iq a bit weaker than on the web tour?

I have the IQ Tour and the Web Tour. The two are very different balls.
 
The Web is simply a ball designed to handle more oil. The Web’s NIB cover is much more aggressive at 360/1000, but the IQ, even at the same grit, doesn’t compare. I can use the Web on volumes of oil I would never consider the IQ on.
 
When you think of the IQ, think of the GB2 as the more equivalent ball in the EBI line. That will help clarify thinking.

The Web Tour is really really really aggressive for me.

Too much ball for a house shot, and too much ball for my 40' sport shot.

Excellent description. I never take the ball with me to my THS league. In my Sport league currently putting down a 43' a lower volume shot, it still wants to check up too early. The Tour needs oil up front. More oil than either the IQ Tour or Venom Shock.
 
The Web Tour is more of a special purpose ball for most bowlers. Thus, Hammer's "Tour" designation. I wouldn't recommend the ball for THS unless you have higher ball speed and like to play tighter in the puddle in the middle.
 
For the OP, the regular Web is a better match on a THS If he's looking for a more aggressive version of the IQ Tour or Shock.

From what I've seen and heard from experienced bowlers, the Web Tour tames out. If you want a different look, I would go Shock. If you want to phase your IQ out, the Web Tour will push it out.

That would be welcomed. I've thought about using it during practice and not cleaning it after.  It just has such a hard arc for me. It either misses the headpin on the left, leaves a 9 pin, or goes in the gutter because of the angles I feel like I have to play with it.

Trying to convince our league president to throw out a +44' pattern for next season so I can hopefully get some use out of it. I just didn't expect it to be so aggressive and clean.

You could take the cover to 3000 to speed up the process.
