The AS Workshop
Since 2000, the AS workshop has been making handcrafted billiard cues. Today it's a brand in its own right, trusted by players and collectors alike.
Handcrafted cues, made to be masterpieces
Recognition
When the workshop first started, no one imagined that AS cues would one day rival the price of the billiard table itself, or that clients would collect them, not just buy them. Today, AS makes the finest handcrafted cues for Russian pyramid.
Range
Depending on the wood and the complexity of the build, we produce a huge range across every price category — from everyday models to collector's exclusives. Our techniques can meet even the boldest requests from players.
Service
We'll make a cue of any size and weight, and deliver it across the region. And after purchase, a full range of service: repair of any part — from tips and cap replacement to changing the length, weight, or shaft. We never turn our back on our own work.
