Gold Crown 7 Revealed

I played on the tables in Atlanta. They are great. All the players loved them. The owner loved them too, he's a big Brunswick fan. The players I talked to preferred them to the Diamonds they replaced. 1 pocket is played on them almost exclusively. (as was the two Diamonds they replaced).

I did run into 2 issues with the ballbox. Has anyone else run across these issues? I'll email Nick at BW with the pictures also.

The edges of the ballbox and rack slot are completely beat up. This is after only 1 month of being installed. Needs a hard rubber or plastic edge trim to survive and stay pretty.

Thanks. I just did to Nick Baron, he gave me his email at the expo this year. I know its a minor thing in the grand scheme of things, but staying pretty is important to the perceived quality. If the customer (room owner) sees all the ball boxes beat up in 2 months of use, he might not order any more.
 
I still itch for a GC7. Would swap it for the Diamond Professional. Main reason is esthetics. Nothing to do with how it breaks or banks or cooks. Biggest hold up is the set up. I have an out of town mechanic I'd wait for if he can commit.
Any reason not get one? Is it only available with a gully? How does the black rail surface hoid up...nick, scratches, etc. What is the availability?

Minor things mean a lot. They are not nit picks.

Minor things, like the corner "brass" castings getting all corroded in a few years (GC3).

I wonder if they started offering warranties on commercial tables. The rooms that had problems in my area got zero support from Brunswick.
 
for me i dont want a white table i want one that looks more like wood. and do not want writing all around it.

old style tables had just a plate with the manufacturers name. that's enough.

the ball return is great for one pocket. and getting to the balls for any racking game.

if they give an option for some kind of top and side rails to look woody i might give up my old brunswick ventura with lovely 5 inch corner pockets that you can use for all sorts of complicated position for games other than 9 ball which is boring..
for one of these with the 4.75 pockets.

Bwick'slifetime warranty was horrible on my GC4. They did everything to not accommodate.
 
Good news. Nick at Brunswick got back to me. They are aware of both issues, and a fix for both are designed and currently in the manufacturing stage.

No white table for me either nor do I want black. The Cherry Oak Dymondwood Diamonds were gorgeous, especially with round instead of mitered corners, the black plastic ones are hideous, if I ever see another satin black table it will be too soon.
 
First discount I've seen of the GC6. I guess they are clearing out whatever inventory remains. I played on 2 of them in Greece in 2025 and liked them a lot.
