Why Players Choose This Set

Who This Set Is For

• Players who want the best of both worlds — classic Boston colors with Premium Grade A+ tolerances and a training cue ball; no compromises
• Players learning spin and English — 6 dots give far more precise spin feedback than a single dot or a plain white ball
• Upgraders from standard Grade A sets — if you've been playing with a PB01A or PB03, the A+ tolerances will feel noticeably more consistent
• Coaches and trainers — use the 6-dot cue ball to demonstrate and correct spin mechanics visually
• Gift buyers — premium quality, distinctive ring number design, and a green gift box make this a standout present

Care & Longevity

• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after play to remove chalk and oils — keeps colors vivid and surface smooth
• Avoid storing in direct sunlight or high heat, which can dull the finish over time
• Do not drop balls onto hard floors — even Grade A+ resin can chip on impact
• With normal home or club use, this set will last several years

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Grade A+ and Grade A?
Grade A+ indicates tighter manufacturing tolerances — closer to true spherical, more consistent weight across the set, and a higher-quality surface finish. In practice this means more predictable roll and fewer inconsistencies between balls compared to standard Grade A sets like the PB01A or PB03.

What is the ring-style number design?
Instead of the standard diamond or shield-shaped white number panel, the PB11 features a circular ring around each number. It's the same inlaid construction (not a sticker) — just a more refined, contemporary look on the table.

What does the 6-dot training cue ball do?
Six red dots are arranged around the cue ball. When you strike it, the dots let you see exactly how it's rotating — draw, follow, left or right English, or a combination. With 6 dots instead of 1, you get much more precise spin feedback from any camera angle or viewing position.

Can I use the training cue ball for regular play, not just practice?
Yes — it's regulation 2¼" size and weight, plays identically to a plain white cue ball. Many players keep it in for all games. You can also swap it for any standard 2¼" cue ball if you prefer.

How does PB11 compare to PB10?
Both are Premium Grade A+ with a 6-dot training cue ball and green gift box. The difference is color palette: PB10 has soft pastel tones; PB11 has the classic bold Boston colors. Choose PB10 for a modern aesthetic, PB11 for the traditional look at the same premium quality level.

What size table do these balls fit?
Any standard pool table using 2¼" (57.15mm) balls — typically 7, 8, or 9-foot tables. This is the most common size for pool in North America.

Can I use these in a coin-operated table?
Most coin-op tables use a slightly larger or magnetic cue ball for automatic separation. The 6-dot training cue ball in this set will not trigger a magnetic separator — check your table's specifications before ordering.

How long do they last?
With normal home or recreational club use and basic cleaning: several years. The Grade A+ finish holds up well to regular play.
