What makes double or even triple shimming a table play bad? Next recover I planned on just putting the largest shims I could find because my gc is stock 5 inch corners. No idea how much mark Gregory cost but I'm sure it's way past my budget lol

There have been many posts on it. For the purpose of tightening pockets, serious players are better off with new cushions cut properly to tighter specs. The cost is the issue.
My experience as a player is Gold Crown's shimmed won't hold a shot hit with even medium speed down the rail. You will find yourself having to slow roll many shots. So you basically have to change the way you play to match the table. Very frustrating and not optimal. If anybody saw the match between Shane and Earl on the 10 footer, that's what a shimmed table plays like. Shane was shaking his head the whole time as shot after shot fired near the rails jarred in the pocket.
I know it's expensive, but cushions last 20+ years on a home table. The extra $500 - $700 you might spend is worth it, even though it is costly. If you get somebody really qualified you will have a world-class playing table that should last a very long time.
