Does anyone know the differences or similarities between these 2 balls?

The HUGE difference between these two is the fact that the BW is asymmetrical and the Rival is symmetrical.

The Black Widow, for the most part, is clean through the front with enough oil on the lane and when using the #1 layout, very angular off the breakpoint.

Haven't thrown a Rival, but I'd expect most layouts would make it smoother overall than the BW.

The Rival rolls more in the midlane and has a smoother backend.  The Black Widow rolls later and has more backend.  Both are excellent balls.
