Brunswick Metro TE rubber to GC4?

[Tommy Tube Sock]

So Brunswick has come out with a "Tournement Edition" Metro table with 4.5" pockets. Why not at "TE" Gold Crown? I have a GC4 with factory set up. Ready to re-cloth in next few years. Could a mechanic take the Metro TE rubber and put it on a GC? Just curious.

Someone told me Brunswick's tables can be ordered with a smaller pocket size from the factory ,not just the metro, can anyone in sales confirm/deny this?

It is the same rubber,they are not sold pre-cut.

My brunswick rep told me that the gold crown can be ordered that way but I don't know about the rest of thier line.

Brunswick started doing this at the end of 2005. I think that Charlie Williams had alot to do with this to have tighter tables to use for the pro events. I have not seen any Gold Crown 4's done this way yet but I have seen the Metros. They use the Metros at most of the pro events that Brunswick sponsers. I will be in Vegas next week for the UPA event and I will try to find out.

Most of the Gold Crown 4's I work on, they have me extend the rails and recut the pocket angles. most of the players and pool rooms want pockets smaller than 4.5" for their players tables.
