Best OH cube now?

I started to feel kinda bored with roux solving and i want to start something like OH cubing. The problem is that i have small hands and my 57mm weilong v1 does not feel comfortable for OH. I have 54.6mm Fangshi Illusion too but this one just feel too slow (but the size is just perfect). So here comes the question from me.... What is the best OH cube now (for someone with small hands)?

 

[CubeCow]

I suggest a Mini Weilong

I have heard a loot good comments about MoYu AoLong mini too but is it worth it's price? Can someone tell me how does it feel (fast? slow? loose?etc...)? If you have some other cubes please tell me why i should pick the one you suggest.

sluggish kinda but imo its not good for oh because its rounded pieces and feels even less stable than 2H

I suggets Mini Zhanchi, or Weilong, either is fine

I am a 32-36 second solver on a rubiks brand. I am looking to get a speedcube in about 2-3 weeks and I am having trouble deciding between a stickerless zhanchi, an aolong v2, weilong v2, or a hualong. Will some of these be too fast for me and which is the best option for my speed?

I am wondering if cubes like the aolong, pheonix, or yuxin are capable of around the same corner-cutting as the gans 357, but without the clicky feeling. I really dislike the corner-cutting feel of the 357 and zhanchi, if you know what I mean. Both can corner-cut really well, but it takes quite a bit of force, even for medium amounts.

I had an AoLong mini as my main for awhile. Beware it is the V1 AoLong and the corners twist a lot.

I've heard yuxin is sorta slow

The 5.25 record was set by a Yuxin, so it can't be that slow

Collin's main is still the hualong. I never said yuxin is bad, I just said its a little slower than top speed cubes like hualong and 356/7.

I would get an aolong v2 or a hualong and tight them right after i receive them, any of the others will be too fast for you

I have tried the zhanchi and aolong v2 (not mine) and prefer the zhanchi. The aolong was a bit uncontrollable whiole the zhanchi was controllable and had a better feel.

Also whichever cube I get I won't be able to upgrade for 2-3 months

Did you just say to get a HuaLong (arguably the fastest cube MoYu ever made if not one the fastest cubes ever) would be a good choice because "others will be too fast"?!

I've got an Moyu Aolong V2 as my main lubed with the cubicle lube weight 5 for core and 2 for pieces. I have it for some time now and my pb with it is 30,08sec. I dont have any experience with other populair speedcubes Recently a friend of mine purchased an Shengshou Aurora en had some solves with it without it being tensioned or lubed, it came just out of the box.

The feel of the Shengshou Aurora has suprised me. Where the Aolong feels kinda blocky but very vast the Aurora felt super smooth and not blocky at all. It was a bit slow but then again it came just out of the box without proper tensions or lube. With this experience I wonder if the Aolong is the right cube for me and want to try some others.

What are some populair cubes i should try that have a different feeling then the Aolong v2 and a 'smoother' less blocky feel? I thought of the followig:

- Dayan Zhanchi
- Shengshou Aurora
- ShuangRen

Any thoughts or recommendations on this?

@Tiwaz: Zhanchi or Aurora

Zhanchi definitely

@above

Thanks, how would you describe the zhanchi's feeling? Is the cube still relevant nowadays?

Trying to branch out from Moyu 3x3s, so Yuxin or Gans 357 ? (Fangshi is to expensive)

 

[transatlantic]

FIRST OF ALL I KNOW THIS POST SHOULD BE IN THE WHAT PUZZLE SHOULD I GET THREAD and i apologize in advance, but i wanted to do a poll. Anyway so i have a moyu aolong v2 stickerless, a moyu hualong, and a fangshi shuangren v2. Now i want to try other brands to see see the difference and fill out my collection. In your opinion, what cube is better, or should i get first:

gans 357, gans 356, qiyi bullfight, dayan zhanchi, yuxin, or congsdesign.

There is no "best" cube. All of those cubes are good, but which one is good for you is personal experience. You didn't specify what kind of cubes you like (feeling, speed etc..) so you could tell us that so that we can help you better.

FIRST OF ALL I KNOW THIS POST SHOULD BE IN THE WHAT PUZZLE SHOULD I GET THREAD

Then you should've put it there

 

[CubeCow]

It's all preference man. Any of these cubes will get you fast times.

 

[SpeedCubeReview]

I recently did a video talking about how there is no one that is "better" but going over all of the differences. Check it out. It might help you figure out what you might like best.
