Well, I broke down 2 weeks ago and picked up a Venom Shock after the year of great reviews this ball has had. Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed. It's a stronger IQ Tour Solid, but not as strong as say the Nano. Predictable, strong, and plenty of mid lane action even with the lower diff. That led me to compliment it with the Tribal Fire. And it is a nice ball down when the Shock is becoming too much. Since tax day, I now have a Covert Revolt, Revolt Vengence, Octane, Tag, and I found a NIB Sigma Sting. I am giddy giddy over these balls. They are the closest to Storm that I have found, but there  are a few noticeable differences. The covers do not have to be maintained near as much, and they take adjustment better, imho. These balls are fun to throw. And I will be adding the new stuff coming in July. And yes, I mean July! More info to come during the Summer Swing!

Venom Shock, Tag and Vengeance are my 3 favs!

I'm not happy with my current stuff from EBI.  I throw too fast with too low revs so I need high flare and lots of surface.  I have the Hypercell and Jackal on my mind.  Any opinions on those?

Hyper Cell and Jackal are very different balls, I have owned both. The Hyper Cell was stronger and much earlier. The Jackal is much more useable and in my opinion takes surface changes better. In really heavy oil, which is hardly ever seen, I think the Hyper Cell would handle it  better, but over all my vote is for the Jackal.
