How many versions of the Zone Classic are there?
« on: June 20, 2006, 12:29:57 AM »
Subject says it all.  I am aware of a green pin version (the original) and a red pin version (a batch that didn't cure correctly causing them to be good for dry lanes).  Are there any other versions floating around?

The violet version which is the green pin (actually black pin with green elipse marking), it just came out a lighter and brighter in color.

Any differences in reaction when compared to the green pin version?

The only other one I've seen is the Violet version.  Identical to the original green pin but in a much lighter purple.

Some say yes, some say no.  IIRC, those who have said no have indicated that the Violet is weaker overall, although not as much so as the Red Pin.

Glad you brought this up. I just picked up a pair of them from Ike and was curious myself. I had a red pin before and it was almost like urethane. Both of the ones I got from Ike have a black pin, but have the green circle around it. One is Violet and the other is dark purple. I have'nt thrown them yet though.
