ShengShou 7x7 vs. V-Cube 7

[masterofthebass]

I got a Shengshou a few weeks ago and really didn't like it out of the box. I'm planning to mod it and such, but I haven't had time yet. So for now I'm sticking with V7, but I think I'll like the Shengshou better once I've done a few basic mods.

I had absolutely no need for any mods to my SS7. I think it just may feel awkward because of the new shape and larger size. Your hands take quite a while to get used to it, and I still get tired after doing some practice.

I prefer the SS 7x7 over the V cube simply because it doesn't pop. My V cube pops normally around 5 times a solve so it's nice to have a cube that doesn't do that.

Definitely ShengShou. I have serious gripping issues on pillowed cubes.

Man yeah.. me too. I have a pillowed v-cube 2, it looks nice but for the life of me I cannot hold on to it proper lol Not a speedcube, that one.

You should consider buying a Type C WitTwo.. it is without a doubt the best 2x2x2 speedcube out there. It has a nice scratchy feel to it and to lubricant it reacts very well.

That is indeed what I was considering. Have to find out first whether or not I want to use the 2x2 more than I do now, but if so, then I will. Thanks!

I personally like the V-Cube 7x7's better because the ShengShou's don't fit in my hands.

I see

After using the V7 for a while, the Shengshou doesn't seem square; it's like it seems hollow.

Anyway, I modified a Shengshou 7x7x7 following the usual mod for 5x5x5s and now it reverse corner cuts. But it also makes more racket and is more likely to pop:
