Blue labels play fine. Jeez. How long are people going to complain about this. Last one i played on (9ft. Pro w/ANDY 988) played fantastic. Look, my local spot has 10 nice GC4's and i like them a lot but i have zero adjustment issues on that table.
Best table...

I play on a Blue Label weekly. I have a GC4 with Superspeeds at my place, cut to "diamondized" specs. Non-issue going between the two. They play remarkably similar. If anything Artemis cushions lets you twist the ball a little bit more. You can get that action on Superspeed cushions, just have to hit it better, lol.
I prefer the Superspeeds.

I'm not familiar with bumpers. What's superspeeds?
My blue label plays very similarly to the gold crown it replaced,. A little shorter and a bit faster, but the gc was from pool room and dirty and the rubber was failing.
Diamond was basically new when I got it.
I got a lot of hours on those two tables. Depressing!
The rubber. Superspeeds are what is on gold crowns.
Between new cushions, modified rails, tightened pockets, and Simonis my GCI was like a new table. It played almost identical to the blue label 9' Diamonds.
Mine never sagged in 20 years
Mine was starting to...rubber on tits way to bad too.
I've played on gold crowns done right by 3 table artisans and would definitely have no prob trading my newish diamond for one of those.
Sorry but Mark can be such a jerk, I wouldn’t buy from him.
FN hilarious I am.
I had heard it was only early GC4's that did
I've seen him comment of Facebook he was. I hope it's standard with 4.5" pockets also lower the price. A GC 6 tournament edition is like 4000 more than a Diamond.
The frames with the end-sill attached to the ends of the side beams are the ones that could sag. Almost all GC3 frames and early 4 frames were made this way. If bolts were kept tight and no one sat on it it usually wasn't an issue.
The GC6 at the dealer I looked at was horrible. All kinds metal sticking up just looking to destroy a pool cue
When you go to the doctor do you just ask for a prescription for anything? After 77 responses no one has asked what games you play, skill level, skill goals, recreational use, etc. What are you goals?
Maybe we can help determine your needs.

I've heard elsewhere that the fit and finish on the newer GC's was bad but I wondered if that could be setup as well?
He's very accommodating while you are trying order from him...not sure what happens after.
I had good conversations with him. I came close to purchasing from Mark but did not want to wait and price went up real good the next time I talked to him. However I’m not unhappy with the Professional. Has been said he can be rough to work with.
Would like to see the original's brought back with different finishes.
