The Brunswick Superspeed cushion and GC4 go hand in hand. The cushion fits the table perfectly. I am a Brunswick fan and always will be. That being said, I know they have testing facilities and LOTS of money to do research on their products. I love the GC4 and as I said before they are my favorite tables of the series. Having worked on/ restored and played on many, I am confident in my knowledge concerning them. Some people may think their way is better than Brunswicks, but, I am always going to trust a company that has been making pool tables since 1845. I have never heard anyone complain about the way they play. Extending the subrails is by far any sort of rocket science....
I do know this about being a professional at anything: If you claim your designs are better, back it up with facts, not "because I said so" ..... PROVE YOUR WORK. Explain why your work is better in terms that everyone else can understand. Exact angles, measurements, research, testing and all of the details why. In other words FACTS. Someone saying they have been doing this forever does not prove anything.
First off...the GC 3 and GC4.....will take the cushions just fine......no one said they wouldn't.
Brunswick designed the table for those cushions.....so you think you know something because the super speed cushions Brunswick designed for the tables can go back without modification........boy.....are you smart....lol
Of course they would fit.....no one said they wouldn't......just like diamond uses Artemis cushions for there tables......and they fit changing to the same cushions......but I wonder why if I'm not understanding rails or cushions.....why would Brunswick contact me about rails....why would Greg Sullivan come to my shop and ask about how to make his tables play better......but why would you believe anyone one.....u flip tables like people flip houses.....I have enough guys telling customers they do as good as work on rails Mark and Glen....but I can't charge as much cause I don't have the reputation they have so charge less.
You really think your going to talk me into showing you or Jack on this site what I do different to rails than Brunswick and diamond so you guys can do rails the way I do.
Glen likes to do that.....call him maybe he will tell ya what you guys need to know.
What you guys don't get is........people don't want the tables to play like they come from the factory.......they want them to play better.......and that's what I do.
The Proof is in the play of my tables.....find one I did and play on it....No one should go by what I say.....judge for yourself.....don't listen to the ones that had such and such do his rails for half price and my table plays better than any in the world.
Trust me they all say that.....stoking their own egos....thay know no one is ever coming to their house to play on their table but them...
.so they can tell any story they want......but you can take this to the bank.... then if all those key board commandos could strap their tables to their back like they do their cues and bring them to the pool room to show off how their table plays to everyone.......I would have a waiting list from here to China.......that's how much better my tables play then the ones you have fix and sale.
I'm not giving specs....I'm not teaching anyone......been there and done that.....got me nowhere.
Just as this forum is getting me....nowhere....I've got plenty of work in my shop right now.
Restoring anniversary and centennial tables.....plus 6-7 sets of rails.....and I'm on this joke site......I'm out good luck....the future on AZ is all yours.....enjoy.lol
