New Brunswick GC6 - Any Questions?

Either way would result in a better overall cushion.
A legit question:
With Brunswick making tables since 1845, and pretty much having the playability of the table nailed down forever, do they ever reevaluate the playability? I'm talking about how the balls bounce off the rails, or how far they roll (which could be affected by mass/rigidity of the table), or how much the table moves when bumped, or how the pocket accepts the ball, etc.
So in other words, do they keep the guts mostly the same for decades, and just change the outward appearance slightly? Or do they regularly look at the guts also. If so, who does that work? Do they have internal pool table experts? Do they hire professional players for their feedback? Do they hire professional pool table mechanics for their feedback? etc.
Thank you.

Questions in caps
Will the slate frame wood be of such quality, that staples fasten securely after ten years of recovering.
Will the feet be adjustable?
Will the three piece slate be dowled?
Will the pocket irons and the top rail irons, stain your cloths ten years after being in operation in a Commercial SETTING?
Are the counters on the foot rail, easy too use WHERE YOU CAN FEEL EACH CLICK EASILY, NOT LIKE THE AFTERMARKET COUNTERS USED LATER ON.... like the gc I's an II's.
If there is a ball return, will the ball box be split l/s and r/s table?

Think there will even be counters?
no counters on the 4 or 5
of course the feet will adjust...
they stopped dowling the slates in the early gc3 production
as for staining your clothes, stop hanging out in dirty ass poool roooms, thats aint the tables fault.
Wrong, the GC's all left wear marks, metal aluminum stains on your cloths, from excessive play. Where the top of the apron meets the top rail. If you ever find and old pic of little Al Romero W. Coast, the tails of his collared shirts always hung out, had horizontal stains and holes worn into the shirt tails from Excessive play were evident. Believe me, they do that, it's why many pros years ago wore aprons.
Apron......................
First person i ever saw with an apron was Dick Lane. He came in wearing a pair of high-dollar slacks and out comes the apron. We all gave him s^*t at first but as it turned out he was on to something. Every GC i've ever played on left those marks you refer to.
I don't usually wear light colored clothes to the pool hall for a reason.... Chalk mostly, so when I do wear anything light colored to the pool room : I AM NOT A SISSY ABOUT GETTING SOME COLOR ON MY CLOTHES......
Jimmy Reid used to wear pure white pants, collared dress shirts, dressed to the 10's.
ask them why they source from communists
thats the most obvious reason.... look around you and most of what you see is too....
Well that dealer was stone cold lying to you if they said $10,070 is a $2,000 discount.

Tomorrow I go put my deposit on my GC V. It will be delivered in January. Ball return and tournament addition. I won’t tell you the exact price but I will tell you it’s below 9k. Some other things thrown in at that price. It doesn’t include delivery and setup which I will be doing myself.

Boats and fitness equip. make up almost all of Brunswick's sales. AMF was their major competitor and they just wanted to be out of it. I'm surprised they kept the billiard division as it was even smaller than bowling.
Be sure to ask them before you buy about warranty issues and how they are handled on tables they don't deliver or install.
You got me curious, I just perused Brunswick's Q3 2017 quarterly report and they talk all about marine sales, a bit of words about fitness equipment, and nothing at all about pool table sales or bowling revenue. Indeed, Brunswick nor their investors care a whit about billiards related activities. It must be lumped in their earnings segment "Corp/other" in which they took a loss on that group of activities.
It's kind of funny, over here in AZB, people love the GC, but the company that makes it doesn't even treat it as an afterthought.

They're done with bowling. Sold it off in 2014 iirc. I'd be really interested to see what their yearly output of pool tables is.
Its just a speck on their radar-screen. Probably lumped in with Fitness revenue. Now this is only a guess but since billiards is their historic legacy i think they keep the billiard division going just for legacy/history reasons. Its darn sure not the money.
