It's Simonis 860 Shark Grey. I suggest you try to find Simonis 860 Shark Grey HR (High Resistance) as break/jump spots are pretty much invisible there for a long time. I was afraid there's no custom slate market. Still, it's stone so was hoping to find someone up for the job. We've been...

Before: After

Hi guys. My mechanic has done an excellent job replacing the rails, tightening the pockets and some cosmetic work as well on my GC5 TE. There's really just one thing missing this being a perfect table for me and that's the shelf. As you know GC5 TE don't tend to have a whole lot of shelf as it...

Filler, closely followed by Gorst. Then probably 5-10 guys one tier lower - SVB, Ko, Chua, FSR, etc.

Yeah on GC's with Diamond rails and tightened pockets there's basically no shelf. I wonder if anyone ordered a custom slate with longer shelf and put it on a GC. After all it's just rock.

If one of the 3 majors in a calendar year can't get 256 players what are we even doing?

Matchroom just sent an email inviting all WNT TV subscribers to play in the event but still not sure this will fill the field. Setting the over/under line at 150 players starting the event. On one hand it's a fantastic offer to pay $250 and play a major. On another hand this kinda shambles can...

Matchroom announced that this year's European Open will happen next month in Sarajevo, Bosnia. $200k prize fund, $40k to the winner. Just thinking out loud: - Matchroom failed to find 256 players for all their 2024 majors (EU, UK, US Open, etc) - It seems that WNT Pro idea is slowly being...

Hi guys. Not happy with pocket size (almost 4.6") nor cushions on my GC V TE. My mechanic will do a subrail modification for the tighter pockets but I want to ask the experts on here what would they recommend for my new cushions. I'm not exactly sure which cushions are installed on my table...

Hi guys. Need help with my GC5 TE and its cushions. Table: Brunswick Gold Crown 5 Tournament Edition, around 15 years old. Cloth: Andy 988 Rubbers: Superspeeds that came with it Conditions: around 70 degrees (+-5), 40-50% humidity most of the time All other Brunswick GC's I have played on...

What's the downside of putting too many staples in? Your pockets look great. Do you perhaps any sketches or PDFs how it was done?

I thought Diamondizing the table just meant tightening the pockets and making the openings more parallel (they're quite V shaped now). The table plays super nice and prefer it to the Diamond ones but gotta tighten the pockets and figure out why there's so little bounce off the rail.

Hi guys. Recently bought a Brunswick GC5 TE from a reputable seller. I like the table but the pockets are too big and would like to get them down to 4 or 4 1/8". Some of you guys do a wonderful job with these but unfortunately I'm located on the other side of the planet. That being said, I've...

Does anyone know what was at stake here money wise? The whole event had more of an exhibition feel rather than big money game.

He didn't get a wildcard invitation, he was just asked to pay $750 for the entry before general public.
