I have all the Dayan cubes. They are all good. If they were all stolen and I could only buy 1 cube. It would be ZhanChi.
That said, I have three ZhanChi's and they are all slightly different. GuHong is too sensitive to lube. It gets gummy if you don't lube it exactly right.

If you aren't willing to buy a couple and experiment I'd save up for the lubix version. I tried them all at Nationals. They are set the the perfect tension and have the perfect amount of lube. I honestly feel the lubix version are at peak performance for each model. The odds of buying one GuHong and getting it that good is slim. If you-over lube the pieces with Lubix, you can't just wipe it out and start over. It takes a solvent to get it off. Silicone isn't water-soluble.

As far as GuHong vs ZhanChi, it's preference. I prefer the snappier sound and feel of my best ZhanChi. The GuHong has a muffled sound and a softer feel. Both can be great and both can go south fast.

again. i didn't make a mistake. therefore i don´t need to be corrected. i didn't say i don't want people to ever correct me again. it was a specific response to engberg. i don't mind when someone corrects an error i make.

i don´t know why u can't see that this post was made to invalidate my answer in a rude way. and then 2 more posts with the sole purpose of making fun of me. how come i have to defend myself? but hey...i am the ******* here. i will never post again in this forum because it will be fixed, made fun of or attacked anyway.

1.) You stated your opinion as fact.
2.) People do the "fixed" thing all the time. I wouldn't consider it rude.
3). When you fire back with a "don't ever..." post, people will flame you. They see that as an over-reaction and will push to get an ever bigger reaction. I'd say claiming to never post again is what they were after.

Quit cubing.
"It's the cuber, not the cube."


I bet someone could use a $6 ghosthand cube and be faster than someone who uses a Lubix Fusion.

Yep, and the lubix fusion is terribly overpriced. It's just a guhong with anchors, and it's not like popping is a problem with the guhong anyway. You could get a Godly Guhong for about the same price and he does all this.

What I believe a good cube is:
has a decent speed,
not many lockups,
not many pops.

If your cube has 45 degree corner cutting and/or can reverse corner cut, I consider it extra. You don't need it.

I got a zhanchi a few days ago, and I've gotta say that right now, I prefer my guhong.
There's really nothing "wrong" with the guhong per se. Mine isn't even modded, but I don't have any issues with it.

My problem with the zhanchi is that its too fast and the sides move too easily. I can be trying to execute an algorithm, and I accidentally turn the wrong side or something!
I might try tightening it up some more and see if that helps, but it its already at a point where the screws suddenly become much more difficult to turn. I dunno if I can harm it by overtightening or something.
