Amen to that. Anything new and shiny is always good. People forget that brunswick has been making pool tables for over a hundred years and theyve always made good tables. Just look at some of the anniversery editions.
Which table do pros prefer?

Anyone like Kim Steel tables? I played on a couple of them that I liked. Heck i even liked a couple of 'Robertsons' . The name could be wrong on that. They were from the Tampa area and i believe their factory burned down 4-5 yrs ago.I played on them at Planet 9 Ball.

Brunswick also has a long history of scandal and corruption, a very long history
in recent years they've done very little to help the sport

when you been around 150 or more years sh!t happens. U think any company thats been around that long HASNT had a scandal. diamond had been around only 20 years. give it time. they might not even last 150 just look at gandy and kim steeles and all the others out there that arent around anymore. and btw i dont have anything against diamond, just making a point.
Brunswick's days are done, they survive off name recognition, chinese labour and insane markups
Yeah, just like Predator. I've heard they're done, too.smashmouth said:
On gold crowns there are some shots that you can't bridge correctly, but the same shots on diamonds you can bridge fine. Even if a gold crown is shimmed up it still plays loose.
Gold crown 4 1/2 pockets play loose.
Diamond 4 1/2 pockets play tight.
It's hard to lose to a bad player on a tight diamond.

Guess you haven't played on a GC4 yet. Or a Metro.donny mills said:
As far as the pockets point - get to know a good table mechanic. He can make the Diamond looser, or the Brunswick tighter. Simple as that.

No no! Ask any good player. I've played on triple shimmed gold crowns and the truth is it just didn't play that tight. The table right next to it was a triple shimmed diamond and it was disgusting tight.
