I can't tell you how many boards, but the red pin is much weaker than the green pin.  Out of the box, the red pin will hardly wiggle on even medium oil.  Either the cover gets a little stronger after breaking in, or my lanes are getting even dryer (if that's possible).

No, lol, the Red Pin definitely gets stronger after you get a track in it.  Mine didn't wrinkle the first night I threw it, now it revs up and flies on the backends.  Green Pin IS still quite a bit stronger though.

will the red become snappy on a dry condition? My green pin is snappy on med-dry.

Yes, the red will be very strong on dry.  It's still very smooth though.  It's got a smooth transition, but when it picks up, it keeps going.  It's a different look for a pearl, but it's got a very strong hard arc.
