Hood Leather Pockets....where to get?

[vpr80]

I am thinking about getting new pockets since mine are kind of beat up a bit. Some stitches are broken, small rips on the inside of the leather on the iron, etc.

Where is the best, aka cheapest, place to get a new set?
Does anyone else make better pockets?

Thanks

Pooldawg has good prices. Not sure if they're Hood or not.
RC Designs were making pockets comparable or even better but I think they went out of business or just stopped doing table irons.

RC made a wide range of pockets but calls there get a disconnected message.
They were supposed to be bought by Championship but heard nothing further of that deal
so my guess is they are gone for good.

Hood makes nice pockets and they're located in Milwaukee.

Hood Pockets

My Hood Pockets cost about $120, including installation. Love them and believe they play better than the stock pockets and, without doubt, they deliver a superior sound when the ball is hit squarely into the pocket with medium or better speed.

If you want the name of my dealer, shoot me a PM. He could probably do it mail order.
