meh...I guess if you cant get your hands on a Diamond....
Sorry. Couldn't resist. Have a good one!2nd best looking table out. Maybe 3rdMr. Sung is a Rasson table.
Still no updates on Brunswick's site.
My initial impressions:
-It looks great. Still has the GC family history look, but just seems more polished.
-I like the ball trays. They do look a hair out of place, but they look very functional. I never liked the ball tray's in the GC 1-4, because the left and right side were too close together. The 5/6 tray is even worse, just one huge long strip, and it was hard to see what the one hole or banks score was. This wire design just screams "play one pocket or banks on me".
-The triangle holder under the ball return looks a bit weird. But 25 years of the Diamond brand rack holder integrated into the table shows it's a good idea. I hope this GC7 version is not that stupid design that the Chinese tables have where the balls go into the rack, and there is a board under it to bring the balls plus rack onto the table as one unit.
-It does look like the trim pieces and pocket rubber are more flush than the prior GC's, but hard to tell for sure from the videos.
Oscar mentioned in one of the videos the rubber cushions. I pray to the pool gods they did not change the Super Speed formula!!!!

Someone already mentioned Artemis rubber.
The GCVII uses Artemis cushions.
Are they bouncier than the Super Speed cushions?
I've had a Gold Crown IV for over 20 years now and have ALWAYS thought it played - how should I put this? Slow, heavy, not as bouncy, not sure. But I am sure you get the drift.

God help us!!!!! YUK!!!!!!!
Our only hope is they are the other ones, not the Intercontinental K55 that Diamond uses.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
Some older companies get stuck in their ways. I don't understand it either. You have a huge business and your website is crap. You use facebook/social media to advertise. That's alright but why not put it on your site, you know, the place where you can look things up without randomly stumbling on it on social media.
Actually Brunswick did do a nice job, IMO, updating their Gold Crown page. They have all the prior 1-6 models, and the "coming soon" of the 7. They didn't have any of that history when the 6 was the latest and greatest.
I wonder if its just their website person did not press the button to make the GC7 info go live?

I'm sure they are the K55 profile. I wonder how they will play on an aluminum rail.
Intercontinental K66 is a K55 profile. They play very similar to a Superspeed K55 if the table is set up properly to use them.
Yes, that’s the one. They also have a K66 profile that I believe other manufacturers might use.
If they put on the intercontinental 66 (k55 profile) with the huge nose radius that Diamond uses, I’ll just be in total shock.
I’ll reserve my judgement until playing on one. Maybe they figured out the proper way to mount that cushion.

I'm ok with those ball racks on the side being that there is the regular ball collection box there as well. Not crazy about the white color nor do I like the blue cloth. But all in all not bad!
I don't think it has anything to do with the cushion or how it's mounted. It's the stiffness of the rail.
I disagree. If it was the stiffness of the rail, I think there would be a marked difference when banking a ball near a rail bolt compared to far from a rail bolt. I've also played on many heated 3C tables, and none seemed as bouncy as Diamond rails. Those tables probably have stiffer rails (but I'm not certain).
Anyway, hard for anyone to know for sure...

Geez Louise. So this is the highly anticipated table that I've read Oscar talking about.
Any other colors? I prefer Brunswick btw.
If they can't completely mute the ball return noise then it may be a hit.
