Hey, quick question, is the guoguan yuexiao better or thunderclap? Price does not really matter, just performance. I avg about 14.7 and use a meiying

If you like the Meiying I would say: go for the YueXiao, as it looks like an improvement on the Meiying.

Also, as an alternative to the Thunderclap there is the new X-Man Design Tornado, which seems to be also amazing, based on some first impressions video I watched yesterday and is, in the same fashion as Cong's Design & Guoguan spin-offs from Moyu, a spin-off from QiYi, so a natural evolution of the Thunderclap, I'd say.
Both the YueXiao and Tornado seem to have the best corner cutting on the market right now with barely a zone where they would not cut at all so, if you go too far away, in the line-to-line zone, they almost instantly go from direct cutting to reverse cutting. Not sure if that is good or bad... probably a source of messed up algs?
Hi, I've been cubing for 2 weeks now, my average time is around 2'30 (beginner's method), so cubes don't really make a big difference at this stage. However, I've got a Thunderclap, a Yulong and a Guanlong (best times are 1'56 with a Thunderclap, 1'58 with the Yulong), all stickerless.
On one hand the Thunderclap is slightly too loose for me, I'm not experienced enough to fully exploit its potential, and the Guanlong is too light, I just use it as a back up cube or for cubing while commuting, it's expendable. On the other hand I really enjoy the Yulong, the feeling, the noise and the weight (slightly heavier than the Thunderclap). Although it's probably a middle range cube, it's clearly my favorite.
So based from my observations, what would be the right cube to upgrade from the Yulong? (stickerless or white/primary/original colour)
Decide when you'll be sub 50/40 now it's pointless.
Also I think this thread can be closed right now. Qiyi squan is always the best anwser <3

I'm sort of starting a collection and I have most of the good current cubes, but I want to get some of the better ones from the past as well. Is there any reason to pick up any of the older YJ 3x3's? I already have a GuanLong, but considering grabbing a ChiLong, SuLong, and YuLong for my collection because they are so dang cheap. Good additions to the collection or just a waste of money at this point?
My hand are quite small and I use a 56 mm shengshou aurora. I'm just wondering if i should use a smaller cube b'cause my M slices are slow. My hand is 6.5 inches from the tip of my finger to the beginning of my palm.
