Your Most Trusty / Reliable Cube?

[camcuber]

I looked around and didn't see a thread on this topic already and thought it would be fun for everybody to post what cube they consider to be their most trusty or reliable. Personally, I always find myself going back to my CC GuHong II or CC ZhanChi if I am going to be competing but will use newer cubes like the Hualong if I am just practicing at home. Is this just me or does anyone have a go-to cube for competing or for events?

Edit: Maybe this should be moved to reviews...?

When competing, I usually just tighten my cube or make sure not too lube it too much or too recently before the competition, but I don't really have a certain preference towards cubes I'd consider more reliable. Whichever cube is my main at the time will be the one that I'll use.

i like to back to my yuxin or along v2, when I'm not feeling well.

I would like to say my YuXin 3x3, or my DaYan Zhanchi.

 

[MoyuFTW]

AoLong V2. The Hualong would probably too fast to control

 

[Lucas Garron]

Weilong. The first cube that was *actually good*.
I tried lots of other cubes at Nats. Only the Gans seemed comparably trustworthy to me.

 

[henrysavich]

newer cubes like the Huanying

Have you bought a cube since 2013

 

[YouCubing]

My MeiYing Never pops, never locks up.

Interesting, I haven't heard of anyone ever doing that, they usually just leave their cube the same with fear of not being used to it haha

I really like the YuXin, the ZhanChi is always a favorite of mine personally

I agree, the WeiLong is a really solid design and an all around good speedcube. It's easy to use, doesn't have a lot of drama when you try to go fast and doesn't have many downsides.

Definitely my Gans 356. I love its feel, and it never pops or corner twists.

 

[guysensei1]

Probably Aolong V2.

Usually if I don't feel like using one of my mains, I just grab cubes at random until I find one that feels right. One of my common fallbacks is the fangcun.

If prepped correctly, the Fangcun was a really nice alternative to the ZhanChi. It's a shame that they are no longer produced

 

[Ordway Persyn]

My Type C5 V2 doesn't pop or corner twist though is locks more than more Recent cubes. I would probably use it If I were to cube In public.
Also my Zhanchi, Thunderclap, or Weilong+ would probaply be what I would use In a comp.

 

[obelisk477]

Aolong V1. I switch to different mains occassionally, but I always go back to my first love

Cubing in public is tough when you are trying to impress someone or even if you allow them to scramble your cube. I always keep a mini WeiLong in my car because it won't pop or lock-up easily which is good when non-cubers "man handle" your cube
