What is the differences in ball reaction between these two category of balls ? Would it be enough if a bowler just build his arsenal with one of the category ? Please advice.....thanks !

In my bag :
Virtual Gravity
Gravity Shift
Buzzsaw Clear Diamond

Premier line is assymetric, Master is symmetric that's the main difference. Ball reactions are different. Dimension more arcy in my opinion. Have not seen a 2d yet, but you can read the reviews. Don't know how many you're looking for your arsenal. You could build your arsenal w/a combo of those, but you'll need something for lighter volumes from elsewhere. Master has only 2 balls & both lines are basically all hooking balls on oil. But, I wouldn't limit yourself. VG & Dimension are pretty good balls, but that just covers the heavy. Gravity & 2D cover med to med heavy. Nothing in those 2 lines cover the very light. I can play my regular Shift on lighter volumes, but that's just me. If you can get your hands on one I'd highly recommend it. I can play it on almost all volumes and have success. The super heavy is about the only condition it may not be good on, but everyone is different.

What Monster said.
Core movement is the primary difference, while the new Second Dimension throws in a different pearl cover for good measure.
Dimension is more rolly than Virtual but they are both good heavy oil balls. I will use my Dimension on fresh heavier / long oil if I want more of a down and in ball while I use the Virtual if I am looking for more angle. Gravity and 2nd have very different ball rolls. For me the 2nd is better for use in heavier volume than the Gravity.
To answer your original question directly the answer is yes, you can build an arsenal with one or the other if you are looking for similar roll for different volumes of oil. If you are looking for different roll shapes I think they complement each other nicely.
