Hello fellas! What are the exact measurements in modifying the subrails on a Gold Crown 1 for Artemis cushions? Thanks!
Would the subrails on a gold crown tournament edition work? I know that they have tighter pockets. Not sure about the angles.Pretty please with a cherry on top put superspeed on any GC. You’ll still have to adjust the angle of the wood for a GC1. Cobra can help you with those angles.
Yes. GC1, GC2, and early GC3's had different geometry on the subrail, and would need to be modified for the modern SuperSpeed cushions (or any other modern K-55 profile). Late GC3, GC4, GC5, GC6, are all the same and work out-of-the-box with the SuperSpeed cushions that can be bought today.Would the subrails on a gold crown tournament edition work?

I really appreciate the help brother! As you requested, I'll put superspeed on if I can get some help in completing this project. I have a 1905 9 foot pro Brunswick. It's got CPBA cloth, K55 superspeeds with 4.25 pockets. Up grading to a 9 foot GG1 that I'm pick up very very cheap.Gonna do a total restoration on it. I'd like to get this one as good as it gets!

How can I get in touch with Cobra?+1 on hitting up RealKingCobra......He did my GC (many years ago now) and actually replaced the sub rail wood and used a different kind of wood than what comes original on the GCs.....I can't for the life of me remember what kind of wood it was though....He said it played more consistent through weather changes....He also extended the sub rails....re-cut the pocket angles....AKA "Diamonized" it...
He asked me how I wanted it to play...I said not stupid hard and not stupid easy......This is what he gave me........Years later I sent the measurements in on Dr. Dave's Hardness scale thread and it turns out it is a 1.0 on the hardness scale......so...dead square right on "medium".
