New Brunswick GC6 - Any Questions?
- Thread starter Mr. Bond
- Start date
I think you're right about them keeping it going for legacy reasons. I too am really curious about their yearly output of pool tables, specifically the GC.
I have been a critic of the GC in the past, which is why I got the diamond pro table. But now I really can't make a judgement as to which is the better table. There are no GC tables within an hour drive in any pool hall...no diamond nine footers either.
. It is a sad state of affairs for pool in my area. Just 7' valley bar boxes and 8' furniture grade tables. There are technically 4 9' furniture grade olhausen tables in the hall in my city, but they are absolutely terrible to play on and I avoid them.
Yes, pretty much looks like most of the other later generation gold crowns. They said they reimagined it, but it's pretty much the same table imo. If you liked those, then you'll probably be fine with the new one too. Nothing radically different for sure.
Oh yeah, and WTF is up with rasson totally ripping off the GC. In th mosconi cup, I thought it was a GC until I saw they had a modern looking base on the thing. Which is really weird btw, because the essence of the gold crown is a classic style table without modern interpretation, IMO. Rasson's table looked like a blend of bad ideas if you ask me.
Hardly a Gold Crown. Here is a link to its construction and a link to a UK video showing its construction. Definitely they have taken some good ideas from other manufacturers and they have a very unique leveling system of their own.

Don’t really care about the bowling aspect. In regards to the angles I will let you know when I get the table. Those tables questioned with angles were many years ago and purchased second hand so who really knows if the tables were some of the first or not. Either way if I see a pocket problem I will let everyone know.

Wow! All I can say is they obviously they had better drugs in the 60’s and 70’s. So much so that it has clouded your judgment.

That's a great question....and no Brunswick don't give a shit about the commercial aspect of the business.
I just got into with them about me designing the GC5 for the most part....I designed that table on a cocktail napkin with then the VP Rob Sheets in 45 mins.
Just think of how many other changes I would have made had I and hr.
I ask them to give me a GC 6 to assemble and assess the minor changes...the table still has 85% of the GC5 in it.
They said no to me...they have no idea how I played at one time or the knowledge I have on Brunswick tables....nor do they care.....really sad that all they want to do is live off the Brunswick name and push residential tables.
Trust me I know full well...Brunswick don't need me for anything....they are big time corporation and don't care if they sell pool tables or not.....I believe they stay in the billiards industry cause it caries the name Brunswick and nothing else that they sell caries the Brunswick name.
I had a lot of good ideas to share with them...but it looks like I can save them for another time...lol

That's really too bad. From what I've seen of your work it appears to be Brunswick's loss.

The only good gold crown was the gold crown 1.
It still tore up your pants.
I played at the Billiard Den in LA in the 60 -70s and every one was given an apron to protect their slacks.
Great room with good action.
Buy a Diamond!

JB,
How did you go from GC I's to aprons, to better drugs to clouded judgment? Could you please explain.

Mark, my suggestion would be to build your own brand of tables.
I dam sure would if I could.
Your work speaks for itself, so why not design and build your own?
I'd rather get one from you than from any commercial producer.
Great idea!
That will take a million dollar investment.
Besides Mark wants to build a world class playing table , not a piece of crap furniture grade table. The average customer is going to buy a piece of crap furniture grade. Even on here watch the threads where someone is looking to buy and see how many end up buying some piece of crap table that's 'pretty'.

I’d also like to know how many gold crowns have been produced?
I’d like to know what the 3 letter abbreviation on the rails and parts of table has to do with production? How does this system work/what do they use it for?
Oh and please bring back the production of tables to the USA.
I’ve got more questions but this is enough for now..

I think that’s a very, very high estimation. The hardest part about building anything out of natural materials is the time, documenting it and then duplicating it consistently. Once you got that down then run them.
