You are correct. All GCI's were painted. If I remember correctly., Island Drive stripped and cleared his.

Towards the end, Hard Times Bellflower would flip the cloth over on the tables on the non tournament side. It was like playing on corduroy.

You might have a Gold Crown II. It came Rosewood stained with bronze ball tray bezel and feet. Rare table. https://brunswick.pastperfectonline.com/library/8CFF21D7-97E9-4FEF-B897-112586024390

I asked for an A game but Santa didn't deliver.

It's probably the table. I'm sure you'll run this without issue when the Diamond arrives.

Being right handed, I was taught to line the shot up off my right hip using the cue then step into the shot.
