What's the difference between GC IIIs and GC IVs?
GC III vs GC IV ???
- Thread starter karambolista
- Start date
There are a lot of differences between the 2.
The GC4 has flush pockets
The GC4 castings bolt sideways into the rail
The GC4 has 2 cross bars with no center bar
The GC4 frame is thicker and heavier
The GC4 has levelers built into the frame for planing. (No wooden wedges)
The GC4 has ball bearing leg pads which allow you to level the table by yourself with all the slate on it
Some GC3s will have pins connecting the slate. (Which mine does) GC4s don't. Which is good.

Smittie,
Thanks for the info.
I think those corner metal pieces also seem to be more flush than on the GCIII.
I am sure that the flush pocket liners on the GCIV are also of a different material that does NOT come off on your cue like those stupid black rubber things on the GCIII.
I also believe that they upgraded the mahogany wood on the skirts of the mahogany models - furniture quality. They may have also changed the composition of the laminate on the rails to make them more durable and better looking (at least mine looks quite a bit different from the GCIII's and I seem to remember something about this when I received a tour from one of their VP's at their facility in Wisconsin).
