Aska Billiards Grade A Pool Boston Numbered Balls Set, 16 Balls Including a Cue Ball, 2 1/4 inch, PB15

ASKA Boston Gear-Edge Pool Ball Set – Premium Grade A+ – 2¼" – 16 Balls with Spin-Marker Cue Ball – PB15

A modern take on a classic standard. This complete 16-ball set combines traditional pool colors with a distinctive gear-edge number design, giving each ball a sharper, more dynamic appearance while maintaining full compatibility with regulation play.

Each numbered ball (1–15) features a clean white number panel surrounded by a segmented black ring detail, adding both visual clarity and character. The set includes a cue ball marked with three black triangular indicators, allowing players to better observe spin, rotation, and cue control during play.

Manufactured to official 2.25" size and professional weight standards with Premium Grade A+ tolerances, these balls deliver smooth roll, consistent rebound, and balanced performance on standard pool tables.

Why Players Choose This Set

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the gear-edge number design?
Each number sits in a clean white panel surrounded by a segmented black ring — the "teeth" of the ring give it a gear or cog-like appearance. It's inlaid (not printed or stickered), so the design is permanent and won't wear off. Functionally it plays identically to any standard pool ball; the difference is purely visual.

How do the three cue ball markers work?
Three black triangular indicators are placed around the cue ball. When you strike it, the triangles rotate and let you see the direction and intensity of spin — topspin, draw, or English. Three markers give you more reference points than a single dot, making it easier to read spin from any position at the table.

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 and fewer inconsistencies between balls compared to standard Grade A 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 cue ball in this set will not trigger a magnetic separator — check your table's specifications before ordering.

How does PB15 compare to PB11 or PB14?
All three are Premium Grade A+ sets with training-marked cue balls. PB11 has ring-style numbers and classic colors; PB14 has tri-shield numbers on a white ball body; PB15 has gear-edge numbers with the standard colored ball body. Same quality tier, three different visual styles — pick the one that suits your table.

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.
