Hi Dan,
it should be the same, the reds i did are an older batch, maybe ?
All the coloured ones were all hot weather, so not really meant to be used in this weather, but Ok.
I got winter pinks that have less bounce in cold temperatures and are softer so less damage to goalies.
Still same weight and size just harder and softer compounds according to weather/season so you get the same low bounce effect at all temperatures and times of the year.
The drop test is the best way to check.
Drop the balls you are comparing from the same height and observe how high they bounce. Ideally they should bounce on concrete or tarmac only a few inches if you drop them from chest height. If the balls are the same composition etc they will bounce the same height.
