Best replacement pockets for Gold Crown 3

I finally got my table together and after playing for a few days I have noticed that the pockets that are currently installed not only don't fit very well, they also leave some nasty smudges on the balls. I was looking at these replacements https://www.classicbilliards.net/pockets/antique/high-quality-soft-plastic-bosse-drop-pockets.html but wanted to see if anyone had any other recommendations that might be better. Thanks in advance.
Those ones seem to be the ones always recommended when this question comes up. Pretty reasonable price, not too bad to just give them a try…

Not sure if or how much this may help you, but in theory one can get genuine factory BW replacement pockets (at much higher cost) from BW themselves, but they are officially spec’ed out as being for the later model GC4-6, not the 3’s.

They look the same to me in the pics, but I have no idea if they work on the older models or not. Might be worth a call to a BW dealer. My local BW dealer in CA is an experienced old school billiards supply & service shop, would probably be happy to answer questions on the phone. PM me if you want their contact info. Cheers


Hopefully a real table tech will chime in to give you better answers.

Good luck
