    Cleaning old slate?

    The slate on my GC IV looks a bit dingy. Darker in the playing field vs the slate under the rails which I'm assuming is from the lighting, but seems weird. I have wiped it down a few times with a damp cloth during assembly but wondering if a scrubbing with soap and water is recommended to clean...

    Brunswick Super Speed vs MBS Championship?

    I ordered a set of Brunswick Super Speed cushions from Pooldawg. Here's the photo from their site. Instead Pooldawg shipped me these MBS Group Championship cushions. I'm returning these but curious if they are the same or lesser quality than the Brunswick.
