I have a Shock and had an IQ tour. Both excellent balls, enjoy my Shock more because I find it more versatile. Couldn't carry with IQT on ths.

Tour and GB2 are slower down lane than the Shock. The Shock is the best all around ball I have found in quite some time. All 3 are really good balls. But the Shock takes the cake for versatility. It carries the corners from angles you'd expect from a pearl. But handles medium heavy volumes due to the solid cover.

Agreed with the other two that posted before me.  Shock is the most versatile ball I have used in many many years.  I use it on house shots from light-medium to a tick over medium.  I can start at 11arrows to 7 break point on a 40' medium house shot 5 man team league all righties and wind up at 19 arrows to 12 bp and still carry.  Such an even rolling ball for me not hard to read and you get what you expect.  I keep mine OOB.  I have over 200 games now and do good cleaning after bowling and restore every 50 games.  No tired look at all from the cover with the Shock which is kinda amazing to me.  Best ball Motiv has produced IMO. 

I have not used an IQ Tour OOB but the others I see use them it tends to need a bit more volume than the Shock.  GB2 OOB definitely needs more volume with my bowling stats.

I haven't seen the GB2 in action yet.  But the IQ Tour to me struggles a lot when moving in.  The Venom Shock is a bit more versatile giving you a wider range of conditions in which it can be used.

The IQT's R2S cover is stronger than the Turmoil MFS on the Shock allowing the ability to use it on heavier conditions.  Both are great balls.

Is the GB2 closer to the Optimus Solid or IQ Tour?
