WNT tables

If it is the exact same cushion as Diamond then being slightly higher could be the factor in slowing them down - IDK as I am not a physics guy - but the GC 7 that I played was recently installed by a known excellent installer. It had the Simonis 860 so comparison to a newer Diamond - the GC cushion was slower on rebounds for sure.

I only got 4.5 cushions on a solid hit up and down the table/ a newer Diamond gets 5 minimum in my experience.
My own GC 3 with new Simonis 860 and newer superspeeds gets 4.5 cushions up and down.

The GC7 is def slower and banks longer than a brand new Diamond 9’. The GC7 is proper.

I took a 3D printed ball with a flat base to the expo and marked where it touched the cushion on both tables. The GC7 was about .75-1mm higher. (.030” - .040” or so).

I talked to the Brunswick president about that and he said something to the affect that it was on purpose and Gregory did the rail design.

I asked Gregory on FB a few months back if the cushions are exactly the same. His answer (me paraphrasing) was he was not at liberty to discuss those details as it’s not his company.

Any videos? All this prep, and you’re not gonna let us see how you play the ghost on this table?

Oh I will. I've still got a mess. Not that that's ever stopped me from videoing...lol I'm waiting for my tailor's chaulk so I can mark the spots and the break box. Should be here in the next couple of hours.

If you just wanna see me hit some balls I can post a video of me messing around on it.
