Have seen both thrown locally and stock both of them at shop i work in.  Out of box is different the Big Rig comes sanded and the Block is polished but either one is easily adjusted.  The Big Rig has a much stronger backend than the Big Block both are reactive resin but the Big Rig just keeps going where as the Big Block wouldn't quite make it.  We have sold a ton of Big Blocks and it is very good for several ball rolls and speeds the Big Rig may be an even better ball.  I estimate an easy 5 to 7 boards stronger backend than the big block on same lanes and same surface.

Thanks for the info.

The only thing that would concern me is the low RG of these balls. I have a high track, med-high speed, med revs, and tend to put equipment into a roll early unless it is pearlized. I was looking for something similar to the absolute inferno, but not at that price.
