Information about Fury cues (good quality?)

I just learned about a cue maker called Fury cues.

I have no idea how long this company has been around, or if they make good quality cues.

I see that some of the series retail for around $100, and some of their other series of cues retail for much more.

I am looking for opinions on the quality and hit compared to (vs) other production cue makers (like Joss, Adams/Helmstetter, Viking, and other companys) that have been around for a very long time.

I can't afford the higher end cues (from the makers that I noted above), so I am very curious to know about the quality and the hit of Fury cues.

I am looking for opinions of serious players (but not beginners) that know how a good quality cue should play.

Has anyone tried any of the PS series of Fury cues.

Do they hit good (in your opinion).

This is a stupid question, but do all of the Fury cues (from the cheapest, to the most expensive) hit much different, or are they made in different factories (maybe some of them imports from Asia?)?

Thank you for your help.
 
John Barton will eventually reply to this.

He's got all the info on this factory and the quality therein.
 
I just bought one of the J/B cues and it is nicer than i expected it to be.
 
DISCLAIMER: I am involved with Sterling Gaming, the North American distributor for Fury cues. I live in China and am five minutes from the Fury factory. So I will answer these questions from both my professional capacity and my personal experience as a player.

The brand has been around since 2003. You can read the history here www.fury-cues.com. The quality is very good. I have been using the same one for six years and it's still in great condition.

Hit is subjective of course. I can tell you that I have let hundreds of people hit with these cues at shows over the years and most of them have been impressed with the hit. One person even tried to trade their $900 Schon for a $115 Fury. He didn't know that the Fury was only $115. True story and happened in 2003 at the VNEA Nationals.

I have owned and played with cues from dozens of makers. As I said above hit is subjective and I am not going to sit here and tell you that a Fury hits as good as a Joss West. But if you're asking for a nice solid production cue that has a nice hit and is good enough to win world championships then Fury is right there. Kelly Fisher won the world 10 Ball with a stock Fury cue.

Yes. They are good hitting cues.

They are all made in the same place the same way from the least expensive to the most expensive. The ONLY thing you are paying for as the price goes up is for the increase in labor and materials. The same care goes into the $115 cue as into the $1200 cue. All Fury cues are cored for stability, they all use properly seasoned wood and high quality parts and are made on CNC lathes throughout the build to insure tight tolerances.

Thank you for your help.

You're welcome.
 
The cues are made in China, and like many imports they are good for the money. As for quality they are equal to Players cues, Action Cues, Adam Cues and many many others.

Like I said they are ok for the money, but thay are nothing special like most import cues from China.

Craig, can I have some cues sent to you? I think that you should look at the 2012 version. These cues are WAY above Players and Action cues in my opinion.

Last night I was at a pool tournament and several people looked at my six year old Fury and complimented it on the nice look, the good shape it's in and the hit. These were not ignorant people when it comes to cues.

I will be happy to send you some cues with a return label for you to inspect just so you are up to speed on the current crop of Fury cues.
 
Thank you for all of the helpful information. The hit, the taper, and the quality of the shaft is what I am mostly concerned about. I love the hit of Joss cues (and the nice long taper that they use on their shafts). I can play good with just about anything (and I have used just about everything over the last 17 years that I have been playing). My favorite shaft that I ever played with was the Universal Smart Shaft (sorry to go off of the subject), so that is the dream hit that I am looking for (without paying the $200 that I do not have for the shaft, lol).
