Could this be a Zone Classic, or maybe even the red pin ZC that bowlers paradise is selling?

It certainly looks just like one of the ZC's, and it's got the same core shape and RG. It'd be hard to tell whether it would be the red or gree pin. Since they're touting it for medium to light I would lean toward the red pin. Just my thoughts.

If they are in fact the same, as it appears they are, why in the hell would someone pay $159 plus ship when they could buy the red pin for $60 or the green for $90? Before anyone brings buzzsaws into this debate, at least they have unique core shapes. These elite balls appear to just be Brunswick releases with different logos.

It doesn't mention any asymmetry or a PSA/MB marking. Given the effort that Big B has gone to in order to say that a ball has a PSA, it's surprising that they don't mention it. Could it be the core that the ZC's was derived from that's really symmetric.

Every "Elite" ball that BP sells is a old brunswick ball, except for the RS48, which is some what recent. They are mostly all international B balls.
