GC5 Tournament Edition pocket sizes

It looks like these corners have extra large shims on them or multiple. That could cause the "off" measurement and the funny corner shape, depending on what they used to shim the pocket.

I like the 6 too. Only played on one and it was nice. It had been tightened correctly and played great. Really curious about the new 7. B'wick is playing it close to the vest. Little-to-no info it. Mark Gregory is supposed to be tech. advisor on it.

It’s not a 6, it’s a GC5

Would you say my pockets have extra large shims?

It is a beauty. Bought it from to a Mosconi Cup MVP which is why I think it's the real one.

Measured all 4 corner pockets and they seem to all be around 4.6 inches, perhaps worn out jaw makes it a hair bigger.

That's a tournament edition cut. You got what you ordered. The regular cut GC corner pocket measures between about 5" and 5 1/8" at the tits.

The gap is bigger on stock 5" pockets. I can take a picture of my stock pockets from a GC4 and show it. His ruler picture does not lie. The balls can be a bit misleading depending on exactly how they are placed, camera angle, etc.

Say what? The balls are 2.25” in diameter. If the table had 4.5” pockets, the balls would fit snugly between the points with no gaps. No camera angle would create gaps.

Based on the side pocket picture, I'd say you have a subrail extension. The corner pockets are a bit harder to see based on the picture and not being as familiar with the pocket structure of your table. It's a very pretty table sir....

Yes, extensions and standard 3/16” facings.
 
Here is a stock GC4 pocket. The OP has a Tournament Edition. It's not even in the same ballpark between my pockets and his pockets.

There is some parallax in this ruler picture, it's closer to 5 1/8" than 5". I couldn't get the camera to show that.

Depending on exactly where "on the tit" the ruler or the caliper is placed, I can get a number between 5" and 5.125" (5 1/8").

The OP's table is correct as a Tournament Edition. His ruler picture aligns exactly with what Brunswick specifies.

An 1/8" range is a fair bit of difference. I guess it's not horrible as long as all corners are the same. But if I'm buying 4.5" pockets I want 4.5 not 4 and 5/8's

Look at the fit of the pocket😝 Reminds me of a GC6 I saw at the Brunswick dealer, just horrible. I would never buy a Brunswick after seeing the junk on the showroom floor.

The one i played on was nice. Whoever set it up knew their shit. I didn't inspect in micro-detal but all the trim/casting fits looked fine. It had ANDY988 cloth and i thought it played as good as any GC i'd seen.
