The Fury CX Series pairs figured hardwood forearms with contrasting spliced points and a wound Irish linen wrap, built around Fury's 29 inch STE solid-maple-cored shaft. Four models make up the line, each a different forearm wood and point color, all currently sold in four adjustable weights. Below is what our own catalog and independent retailer spec sheets confirm about the wood, shaft, joint, and warranty on each one.
Every item is brand new and 100% genuine, backed by its full manufacturer warranty. Free shipping on orders over $98 (contiguous US) and 30-day returns. Every spec on this page is checked against the manufacturer's published data by our Wilmington, NC store team.
Fury is a production cue brand built at a factory in China and sold through pool and billiards
retailers across the United States. A company representative who posted on the AZBilliards forums
described a series of manufacturing changes made to the brand over the years: wood cut and rested
multiple times before it becomes a cue, shaft wood held for at least a year of drying time, production
moved onto CNC equipment under climate-controlled conditions, and every wrapped cue given a spliced
handle for extra stability at the joint. Other players on the same forums, discussing the brand
generally, describe an earlier era of Fury cues with painted-on points instead of real inlays and some
warping complaints, alongside more recent comments that call the mid-tier Fury models a good hit for
the price and straight for years of regular play.
The CX Series sits in that mid-to-upper tier of Fury's two-piece production cues: a decorated play
cue with genuine wood-spliced points rather than a printed pattern, and a linen-wrapped handle rather
than a bare or synthetic one. Fury's own catalog site no longer lists a series under the "CX" name; its
current navigation runs through a newer set of line names. The CX designation is still used
consistently by multiple independent pool and billiards retailers that stock these exact four models,
and their published spec sheets for forearm wood, shaft, and wrap all match what is listed on our own
product pages below. Fury's current site organizes its cues by two-letter or two-character line codes,
such as AM, TW, and GU, each tied to a different forearm design; CX was one such code in an earlier
generation of the lineup, and the naming pattern is consistent with how the brand still groups its cues
today even though this particular code has since rotated out of the current catalog.
Opinion on the brand among AZBilliards regulars is mixed, which is typical for any production cue
sold at this price. Some posters say a Fury has stayed straight for years and outplays what they paid
for it, and one account describes a Fury cue getting a favorable reaction from an experienced player at
a trade seminar who assumed it cost several times its actual price. Other posters say their Fury saw
little use once they compared it to a favorite cue from another brand, or that an older Fury they owned
had loose ring work or a wrap that came apart. None of the specific complaints in that thread reference
the CX Series by name; they describe other Fury model lines, mostly from the brand's earlier years.
Each CX cue's forearm and butt sleeve are cut from a single hardwood species, with contrasting wood
points spliced into the forearm rather than printed on as a decal or overlay. Splicing means the point
material is physically cut and glued into the forearm as a separate piece of wood, so the color line
runs all the way through rather than sitting on the surface. It is a step up in construction from the
painted points that older, cheaper production cues in this category sometimes use, and it is worth
understanding the difference before comparing cues by price alone; see our cue
glossary for more terms like this.
All four CX cues share the same hit: a 29 inch STE shaft, solid maple cored with a lightweight wood
insert rather than left as a single solid dowel. Coring removes wood from the center of the shaft and
replaces it with a lighter material, which cuts the shaft's rotational mass and is one of the more
common ways a production cue maker reduces cue ball deflection on cut shots hit with english. A 15mm
ferrule in Fury's own XTC material caps the shaft; XTC is a composite ferrule material rather than
natural fiber or an ivory substitute, chosen by production makers because it resists chipping and
discoloring better than some natural ferrule materials do with age. A 13mm layered tip finishes the hit
end of the cue; "layered" means the tip is built from stacked leather discs glued under pressure rather
than punched from a single piece, which holds its rounded shape longer under regular chalking and
mushrooms less at the edges over time.
Every CX model wears a black Irish linen wrap. Linen absorbs sweat and chalk dust better than leather
or a rubber composite wrap, and it does not get slick in a warm room the way a bare forearm can, which
is why it remains the most common wrap material on production cues in this price range. A company
representative posting on the AZBilliards forums has described giving every wrapped Fury cue a spliced
handle, where the wrap section is joined into the forearm wood as its own piece rather than glued over a
continuous dowel, specifically to add stability at the joint end of the wrap.
All four ship with joint protectors included and use the same weight-adjustable system described
below in Joint, shaft and compatibility; what sets them apart is the wood and the point color.
The Fury FUCX01 pairs a curly maple forearm and butt sleeve
with orange, black, and ivory spliced points, and it is sold in Orange and Tan colorways. It runs about
$680 and is out of stock with us at the moment.
The Fury FUCX02 uses the same curly maple base with a red,
maple, and black point pattern instead, offered in Black, Red, and Tan. Pricing sits at about $580, and
this model is presently unavailable as well.
Wenge, a dense, dark brown African hardwood with a coarse, open grain, forms the forearm and sleeve
on the Fury FUCX03, set off by yellow, green, and maple points.
It comes in Black, Tan, and Yellow, prices around $510, and stock on this one has also run out for now.
Purple heart, a hardwood that shifts from violet toward brown as it ages under light, is the forearm
wood on the Fury FUCX04, paired with red, maple, and black
points and offered in Black, Brown, or Red. It shares the FUCX03's roughly $510 price and is likewise
out of stock right now.
Every CX cue in this series runs the same shaft platform: a 29 inch classic wood shaft finished to 13.00mm
at the tip, so an owner of one CX model could swap a spare shaft in from another. The joint pin across
the line is a 3/8 x 8 pattern, a sizing used by several production brands but not one that overlaps with
the more common pin sizes covered on our shafts page, so a
replacement shaft for one of these is best sourced from Fury directly rather than assumed to be
universal. Weight is adjustable on every CX model through a Katana-branded weight bolt built into the
butt, letting a shop add or remove ounces without replacing the entire bolt assembly, and each model
ships in four weights between 18 and 21 ounces, a range that covers the vast majority of adult players
without a custom order.
Players discussing Fury cues broadly on the AZBilliards forums describe a brand that has closed a lot
of ground on its early reputation: comments about painted points and loose ring work tend to trace back
to older Fury lines from more than a decade ago, while more recent posts describe the brand's mid-tier
models as a good hit for the money and straight for years of regular use. The CX Series sits in that
same production-cue tier, built for a player who wants real wood-spliced points and a linen wrap without
paying custom-cue money. It fits a league or bar-table player stepping up from a house cue, or a buyer
who wants a cue that looks the part on the rack without a four-figure price tag. The 18 to 21 ounce
weight spread covers most adult players, from a lighter setup favored for finesse position play up to a
heavier balance some players prefer for a firmer break from the same cue, so there is no need to guess a
single "standard" weight before ordering.
Retailer listings for this line describe a one-year manufacturer's warranty; our own product records
for the CX cues list the coverage simply as limited. Either description typically excludes accidental
damage, cosmetic wear on the wrap or ferrule, and warping caused by storage in a hot car or a damp case,
so keeping the cue in a case between sessions matters more than the exact wording of the warranty
card.
The CX Series is one of two Fury lines we carry; if a wrapless, lower-priced Fury cue is more what
you are after, the Fury DC Series
is the other option. For the rest of the brand, browse all Fury pool cues, or step back to the full pool cues selection to compare against other production
brands.
The joint is what decides whether a shaft fits, and most cues in Fury CX Series use the 3/8X8 pin. Match that pin on any replacement shaft, or ask us and we will confirm the fit.
Curly maple on the FUCX01 and FUCX02, wenge on the FUCX03, and purple heart on the FUCX04, each with contrasting wood points spliced into the forearm rather than applied as a decal.
Fury cues are built at a factory in China. Players on the AZBilliards forums note the manufacturer has moved production onto CNC equipment and lengthened its wood-seasoning steps over the years.
A 29 inch STE shaft, solid maple cored with a lightweight wood insert, finished with a 15mm XTC ferrule and a 13mm layered tip.
Yes. All four models use a Katana-branded weight bolt in the butt, so weight can be added or removed without replacing the whole bolt assembly.
Retailer listings describe a one-year manufacturer's warranty. Our own product records list the coverage as limited, which typically excludes accidental damage and warping from poor storage.
