I am looking at buying a Gold Crown that does not have a ball return system. Do they sell kits to convert them to ball return? If so, how much? If not...damn.

So then I could add it if I wanted? Although, for $500 I will probably just live without it. I'm just lazy.

I have a Gold Crown II with drop pockets.

The ball return system (rails / catch box / pocket liners) are in my attic...For $500 I could probably force myself to get the ladder an climb up there and get it for you...:D :D

Mine ended up in the trash when I converted my old GC over... I could not think of a reason to keep them around.

I just tossed out the return to my current table as well. I dislike ball returns :)
 
In case u decide to play one pocket u will then REGRET for having ball return.u better go for drop pockets.
 
Return

Yeah, I suppose it's probably fine the way it is. I've always had a bar box and have just been use to the return but I'm probably better off with out it. I appreciate the replies.
 
This is for a home table? I would have a ball return over drop pockets any day. I think I walk an extra mile picking balls out of every pocket when practicing on a drop pocket table. Besides... it's nice to throw balls out on the table, and shoot them in without running around trying to find them again. Why is it different for One-Pocket? I don't know how many balls a drop pocket will hold, but you can run all 15 without emptying it with a ball return.

This is the main reason I want drop pockets. I can easily spread the balls from the pockets. If they are in the return, it takes more effort to evenly throw them around :)

You can leave the balls in your pocket. Having a return is a hassle for one hole. Forgetting to get your balls out, getting a ball mixed up in yours that was dropen in another pocket that needs to be spotted (like a side pocket). Your opponant snatching balls out of your side while bending down to get his out of the return. Those are my worries...
