Brunswick Superspeed Cushions

so my question is do the new and newer gold crowns bank short then.?

or are the "technicians" not doing things right?

IMO, I've played for decades on GC1-6. I think they all play almost the same with respect to the cushion response. Not short at all (if Diamond is the standard for "short").

on original factory cushions that are in good condition they all play like GC’s….older ones with new cushions w/o subrail mods play short and hop or pinch if the mechanic wasn’t very careful

You ever play on an early 3 or before that had the newer width superspeeds? Without the sub rails modified??? The newer ones are 1 1/4” on top the older style were 1 1/8 deep…makes table playing surface 1/4” smaller in the length and Width and banks funky and Short….tho the wavy sub rails also have a lot to do with the wonky playability as much as the smaller dimension does…non players won’t mind but a seasoned one imop will notice and probably not care for it just my opinion of course.

You brought back an 8 year dead thread to argue semantics? ha ha ha

I didn’t even notice the date but it’s never too late to stir up a good thread

Calibration and instrumentation is the broadest trade on earth….to set up and install anything to result in a very specific repeatable action or reaction to any force that can be sensed or incurred by the machine, material or tool is 100% calibration.

at the end of the day that cushion is in fact mechanical it is a device that works to aid the speed, angle and spin of the balls that impact it in repeatable consistent fashion.

by the way I’ve been doing instrumentation and calibration in many areas for two decades…and pool tables fall into the category by all means.
