Author Topic: Zone Classic, Red vs. Green: Would it really make a difference to a hack like me? (Read 1254 times)

There sure seems to be a lot of hype surrounding the Red Pin Zone Classic. Before I get too caught up in it, is there *really* that much of a difference between the two, to where owning both would be advantageous to a THS-loving league hack like me?

Yes.

The green pin is the real deal. It is exactly what is advertised on Brunswick's website. What you see is what you get.

The red pin has a "funky" coverstock. It may be the Slay/R or Punisher's cover or it may be the Activator that cured too fast. All I know is that it won't be as aggressive as the original. The way I look at it is the red pin is nothing more than a blem.

I certainly would not shell out the money for a "mystery" ball. But that is just me and my .02 worth.

There should be a significant difference. The activator on the green pin is fairly early for a pearl. My red pin is super clean and very long. Make your pick based on oil volume. There is a difference between the two.
