Masi Carbon Titan X Ruby Gloss — Detailed Cue Review

Titan X is the upper-segment model of Masi Carbon's Titanix Limited Edition series. The Ruby Gloss variant takes its name from its high-gloss red finish.

Titan X vs Zafira

Both series share the same carbon body architecture, the same butt balance approach and the same made-to-order options. The measurable specs are identical: weight range, length, shaft diameter and tip type do not change between them.

The difference is series positioning and surface finish. Titanix Limited Edition is a limited production run, and the Ruby Gloss variant is finished with a high-gloss surface. Zafira Edition is the standard premium line with a wider colour range. In other words, the choice is about which series and which look you want, not about a performance gap. See What is Zafira Edition? for the other side of the comparison.

Feel and balance

Two properties define the cue: the durability and stability of the carbon body, and the professional butt balance system. Butt balance means part of the mass sits in the lower section, which moves the balance point rearward.

In practice a rearward balance feels more agile, while a forward balance feels like it "carries itself" through the ball. Which one suits you depends on your stroke tempo — we cover that relationship in the cue weight guide.

The medium-hard profile is the band most commonly chosen for carom and pool: clear feedback at contact without an overly harsh response.

Shaft pairing: R, F or C Warrior

• R Warrior — full Eiffel taper, 120–160 g. For players who want a firm, crisp hit and an aggressive tempo.
• F Warrior — half Eiffel taper, 120–130 g. For players looking for a balance between control and flex.
• C Warrior — conical taper, 120–130 g. For direct power transfer and a classic conical feel.

All three have an 11.9 – 12.2 mm tip diameter and work with every joint type. Full details in the shaft technology article.

Made-to-order options

• Requested weight within the 380 – 600 g range
• Butt colour, length and joint type
• Shaft model (R / F / C Warrior) and tip type
• Extension colour and extendability
• Optional second shaft

The first shaft is included in the cue price; a second shaft is added to the order total at the shaft price. Measurements are chosen on the product page and can still be edited in the cart.

Who is it for?

Titan X suits carom or pool players who value a limited-series look and an upper-segment finish. Because the performance architecture is shared with Zafira, treat it as a series and design choice rather than expecting the higher price alone to play better.

Warranty and care

The cue carries an unlimited warranty against manufacturing defects. Carbon is far less affected by humidity and temperature swings than wood, but regular wiping, tip maintenance and correct storage still extend its life — see the care guide.
