Help with replacement pockets for Olhausen

Can anyone recommend a good drop pocket replacement for Olhausen tables?
I am very unhappy with my purchase of this Olhausen table. The table looks nice enough but it has the worst pocket design I have ever seen. You can hit the ball right in the pocket and it will spit it right back out because of the edges of the leather drop pockets. (See attached pics) I went to the billiard factory and ordered the pockets that come on commercial Olhausen tables but they are very cheap looking very thin plastic.
If anyone know of a good quality replacement, please let me know.
I am looking for something similar to the replacement that I bought, only much better quality.

Thanks.

That's crazy here's a pick of mine not a good one but notice the edge is behind the rail not overlapping ,, if I really rite a ball straight in it will hit the back lip and spit it out

its not the pockets themselves its the shelf is deep and the rails pocket shape are angled out.

get used to it and you learn to hit the center and improve your game. if is frustrating to say the least. but the tables play well except for that. and will train you for those tight pocketed ones you find in some places where the balls rattle if not hit clean.

That not going to work. You don't have a shot looking square at the pocket every shot.

Yes if you look at my pocket it's cut back behind the rail I'd trim yours back so the leather edge is not in the shelf

It's not a easy task if you have metal in there like mine if it's plastic it makes it easier but it would be hard to get it right without taking the rails off ,Im kinda surprised to see this level of quality from them

Yup.
This is what $6500.00 got me from Olhausen. I'm sure that the installation by The Billiard Factor was also a factor.
