Which is better for a beginner?

The Exo 02. Its 22g weight and slim barrel are easier to control for most new throwers, and the Swiss Point system lets you try different points without buying new darts.

Which dart lasts longer?

Both use 90% tungsten barrels that hold up for years. The Exo 02's Swiss Point threads are the one extra wear point; the Fury's fixed point has no threads to strip.

Is the Exo 02 worth stepping up to over the Fury?

Yes if you want a slimmer barrel and swappable points. If you already throw 26g and never change points, the Fury covers the same job with less to maintain.

Which is better for rear-grip throwers?

The Fury's straight barrel suits a rear grip well. The Exo 02's tapered front puts more of its grip toward the front and center, so try it first if you grip at the back.

Do both come with flights and shafts?

Yes. The Exo 02 ships with No.6 Pro Ultra flights and short Pro Grip shafts. The Fury includes flights and shafts, but their colors may vary from the listing photos.

Which throws tighter groups?

The Exo 02, on paper. Its 6.65mm barrel is about half a millimeter thinner than the Fury's, which leaves more room in the treble bed.
