Aska Billiards Grade A Pool Boston Numbered Balls Set, 16 Balls Including a Cue Ball, 2 1/4 inch, PB17

ASKA Boston Stylized Number Pool Ball Set – Premium Grade A+ – 2¼" – 16 Balls Including Cue Ball – PB17

A refined take on the traditional pool ball set. This complete 16-ball collection features the classic solid (1–8) and stripe (9–15) layout, enhanced by a distinctive stylized number font that gives each ball a unique visual identity.

Unlike standard block-style numbering, this set uses a more dynamic, slightly script-inspired numeral design, adding character while maintaining excellent readability during play. The numbers are precision inlaid into clean circular panels for a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Crafted to official 2.25" diameter and professional weight standards, the balls deliver consistent roll, reliable rebound, and balanced performance on regulation-size pool tables. The high-gloss polished surface enhances both durability and table presence.

The set includes a classic unmarked white cue ball for traditional gameplay.

Care & Longevity

• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after play to remove chalk and oils — keeps colors vivid and the number panels crisp

• With normal home or club use, this set will last several years

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the number font different from a standard set?
Standard Boston pool balls use a plain block numeral. The PB17 uses a slightly script-inspired, more dynamic font style — the numbers have character and personality while remaining clearly readable at table distance. The panels themselves are the same circular inlaid construction; only the font style changes.

Are the numbers inlaid or printed?
Inlaid — the number panels are permanently pressed into the ball during manufacturing, not printed on or applied as stickers. They won't peel, fade, or chip from normal play or cleaning.

What is the difference between Grade A+ and Grade A?
Grade A+ indicates tighter manufacturing tolerances — more consistent roundness, weight, and surface finish across the set. In practice: more predictable roll and fewer inconsistencies between balls compared to standard Grade A sets.

Does this set include a training cue ball?
No — the PB17 includes a classic unmarked white cue ball for traditional gameplay. If you want a training cue ball with spin markers, see the PB11 or PB15 sets.

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 standard cue ball in this set may 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.
