ASKA Boston Pastel Pool Ball Set – Premium Grade A+ – 2¼" – 16 Balls with Red Dot Cue Ball – PB10

A fresh take on the classic game — the ASKA PB10 combines Premium Grade A+ precision with a modern pastel color palette that stands out on any table. Softer, more refined tones replace the standard bold colors while keeping the traditional solid and stripe configuration intact. Includes a red dot cue ball for spin visualization during practice. The top tier of the ASKA Boston ball lineup.

Why Players Choose This Set

• Modern pastel color palette — softer, lighter tones give the set a distinctive, contemporary look that sets it apart from every other table in the room
• Red dot cue ball included — single red dot marker helps you track cue ball spin and rotation, useful for developing draw, follow, and English
• Standard 2¼" (57.15mm) diameter — fits all 7, 8, and 9-foot pool tables using regulation-size balls
• Inlaid numbers, not stickers — permanently pressed into the ball; they won't peel, fade, or chip with heavy use

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: more predictable roll, fewer inconsistencies between balls, and better long-term durability compared to standard Grade A sets like the PB01A or PB03.

Are the colors really that different from a standard set?
Yes — the PB10 uses a pastel-inspired palette with softer, lighter tones across all 15 numbered balls. The configuration is still standard (solids 1–7, stripe 9–15), but the colors are noticeably lighter and more refined than the classic bold Boston colors. If you want traditional vivid colors, the PB01A is the better pick.

What does the red dot on the cue ball do?
The red dot lets you see how the cue ball is spinning after you strike it — topspin, backspin (draw), sidespin (English), or a combination. It's a training aid that's especially useful when you're learning to control cue ball position. It plays identically to a plain white cue ball.

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

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.

Are these tournament-quality balls?
The PB10 is Premium Grade A+ — the highest grade in the ASKA lineup — and plays very consistently for league nights, club play, and serious recreational use. For elite WPA or BCA sanctioned tournament play, approved sets like Aramith Pro Cup are typically required.

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 red dot 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.
