Gold Crown VII - initial thoughts?

[Swab Jockey]

For those in the community, curious what your reactions are to the latest Gold Crown.

Big changes to overall design (frame, rails, sub rails, ball return, rubber, profile, etc)

Seems like Brunswick went all in, implementing a lot of changes from the VI to the VII.

Attaching a few photos “under the hood” from FB.

I appreciate the engineering that was used under the hood of the GC7 however the ball return end look absolutely crap.
The GC4 and GC5 were gorgeous looking tables.

All black w/drops would be the way to go. Remove the underskirts also. They don’t do a thing (for me)

Let's make the GC4 really ugly and call it a GC7. The aluminum rails might be the only improvement that I see.

The traditional GC 1-4 design should never have been changed. Different woods/finishes would have been the difference.

I like them. They're a nod to the GCI. I thought it would be cool to also offer apron colors in Tangerine and Brunswick Blue, but I'm a GCI fan so I'm a bit biased.

That era..Looks great on your table.
Seriously.. Brunswick should have come to you for new or traditional designs.

Thanks, but I didn't design it, just restored one...LOL!

I know...but you(your input) would have come up with new/better design than the new 7.
