Tighter pockets and Decals!
If you need any help with purchasing one, I am very able to help from sale to install!

tighter pockets is all.
Soon, you will also be able to have DEEP SLATE SHELF on a Brunswick Gold Crown! The future looks BRIGHT, I hear there is some new intelligent lighting coming out too!

The one I’m purchasing has the extended rails. 4.25” corners. Several other of the gc6s also had same extended rails but were 4.5”. All in way rails were installed I guess.
I don't think Brunswick does 4.25" pockets from the factory but I could be mistaken. If the one you are purchasing is 4.25", hopefully the sub rails were properly extended and the pocket openings recut vs. someone stacking facings to make up the .25". If the latter, the pockets will play dead.
Balls die when they hit the facings because the facing material is thicker than it should be.
There's no 4.25" option on their site. Had to be aftermarket work.
Who might that be? Anyone from here? Always interested in hearing about "top pool mechanics"
Rexus31 is giving you solid info. They do not offer 4.25" for a FACT, maybe some may be off a lil, but not that much, after market work.

PS> NO STACKING FACINGS>
Here's photo of two balls in the corner. All corners are identical in size. Actual measurement is 4 3/8". My bad on the smaller number. Some other GC5s they had were 4.5". All with the extended rails from the factory. Thanks for all the inputs.
The mechanic at the Billiard's Factory in Jacksonville is an older fellow named Bill. Don't know his last name. He is there for the top of the line installs. The owner is his assistant on these. They are stacked with work. Wait time 4 weeks from committing to sale.
Appreciate all the thoughts. David

I do in fact know Bill P!! He also runs a league there
He will set it up RIGHT! Good for you, its easy to run into the WRONG guy.TFT
Those look great! Looks like 4.5” though…perfect size IMHO.
Here’s 4.5" on a GC5 at same place with extended rails also. The GC6 at 4 3/8 is shown for comparison on the right.

yeah, that variance is bad! the first pic is no where near 4.5 and the second is closer. 2 balls= 4.5". I spoke with Bill P this morning ! He is aware of your table!

Yes, BW claims their standard tables meet BCA specs & their TE’s meet WPA specs +/- 1/16”. Pocket face angles per both BCA & WPA are supposed to be 142 deg +/- 1 deg.
My 2020 GC6 TE corner pockets came in at 4-5/16” (4.3”) and PFA’s of 143-144 deg. I like it, but plays super tough, tougher than I wanted. Guessing BW has a bit of a QA problem, definitely would have preferred 4.5” with 141 ish PFA’s.
Just FYI
