Gold Crown VI now on BrunswickBilliards web site

Looks like the rails are straight. That's good because rumor had it that they'd have that "surf-board" curve like the Metro. I think it looks great myself.
 
Is that a price drop? I thought the 5 advertised site from Brunswick was 12k. Might be remembering incorrectly.
 
I don’t know if it’s a glitch on the website or not, but if the customization pictures are accurate, the drop pocket version has no ball storage on the foot rail, and the gully return has the ball box up high in the rail where the ball storage is usually located. Makes for a much cleaner aesthetic if it’s true. But harder to play pocket or back games.

I’m voting it’s a graphics glitch by whoever made the website doesn’t know tables.

Look at the main GC6 page. It shows what looks to be a drop-pocket w/storage. The one on the customize page just looks like its turned around. I see what you're saying. No storage would kinda suck. I msg'd Bruns. via FB. See what they have to say.

Doesn't the 6 have same guts as the 5? Never heard any complaints about the GC5. From what i've read here the 5 solve whatever problems the 4 had.

I've just been listening to the table guys in another thread talk about how tables are made, without regard to more than one installation in their designs.

So, I asked about that because of that.

When I get a different table (since mine has so many new problems now, due to bad maintenance), I am going for one that is designed to last through more than one table cloth change or one move. Apparently, that's the new Diamonds, only. That's all. I've become a BIG skeptic about table manufacturing.

Nice looking table, though, isn't it?

It looks like there is storage for 16 balls but no separator in the middle. Easy enough to add.

I worry about the metal trim on the edge of the rail.

I wonder how many balls the drop pockets can hold.

More detailed pics here from Japan. Looks like it is a glitch as these pics show a storage box.

It is a great looking table but it is not a GoldCrown. The look got lost.
 
I am very happy with my Gold Crown 4. I will stick with it.

This table does look nice though. I am sure I will never be able to play on one since no new rooms with these tables will be opening anytime soon.

Sad but true.

This is nice looking (as it should be in advertising glamour shots) but the proportions are all wrong. The bottom of the table looks fat and squat. Too bad...
 
I like it but I think the 5 looks better. The 6 with its teardrop corner castings, looks like the 2000's Ford Taurus, with all of its ugly ovals all over the car.
 
Brunswick response.................

I msg'd. them via FB. They said drop-pocket version didn't have a storage slot. I sent them those pics of the Japanese market 6's and am waiting for response. The way Bruns. answer was worded i'm not sure if the person on the other end was sure either way. We'll see.

Mark Greggory has said many times in the table mechanics section, that the GC5 is currently the best table available. Take from that what you will:) (This was before the GC6 was released)

I believe he still maintained the V is still the best .
