Aiming B.S.

There is no magic pill.
I had a student once who wanted me to promise that he'd play a ball better after a brief lesson. At the time I did not know the three words to whisper in his ear to make him a champion, and told him so. He still took the lesson. He liked to play $100 sets. I don't know whether he actually got better, but I like to think I gave him the tools to improve.

Planning My Gold Crown VII Purchase

I agree on my biggest concern being the install. If this is truly a completely new build by Brunswick- what training will occur around the entire U.S. to insure that distributor install mechanics know this new table inside and out- literally. My take, as mentioned earlier, in visiting the local Brunswick dealer in Westport Ct is that they never even had a GC VI inside their showroom- much less be educated on how to properly install a totally revamped GC VII.

I would not think about this purchase without having full reassurance from Nick Baron himself via direct communication, as to who he would have install this table in my locale- and that would be only after he found a local place for me to actually play this table.

It is a large purchase, considering the table cost, adding in sales tax, Simonis cloth upgrade, proper room table light purchase, and possible install fees. - too large to be guessing, IMO.
Had two installers say they can handle the new 7. I love the confidence having never done or seen one. Of course a 1st class mechanic can figure any table out.

Planning My Gold Crown VII Purchase

I cannot explain it. I don't know why. But I swear my Gold Crown IV just doesn't play good. It's not necessarily the break as balls seem to go in okay. It's just that I rarely seem to get a decent spread that can be run. Plus it just doesn't seem to have that feel that other Gold Crown tables I have played on - if you know what I mean. That includes Nick Varner's Gold Crown V that he has in his store down in Owensboro.

Wasn't it you with the humidity problem?
