Weilong springs in a LunHui. Corner cutting is the same, but the speed is almost uncontrollable, while still remaining stable

I quite like gans 356 longer springs in and aosu as it can make the cube faster, more flexible (though I understand why people may not want this but I like it) and allows you to keep looser tensions while remaining stable.
The only issue is that it can be a bit catchy if you're not used to it though it doesn't lock up or pop. It also feels a lot less blocky (this can be a pro or a con depending on your preference but I like it).

Maru soft springs work very well in the Yuxin blue. Just letting everyone know.

Could some sort of springs save the aolong GT?

I'd say SS 5x5 springs for an Aoshi. Yuxin 6x6 is the one that takes Yuxin 5x5 springs.

what would be nice is if the cube companies put the best springs in all the cubes so we didn't have to swap them

that's like saying "I wish fangshi put good stickers on their puzzles" or "I wish gans used normal screws like the rest of the entire world" or something else
not related but omg it took 2 months of procrastination to put my 4x4 back together to find out that it doesn't work properly anymore idk someone help me in the corresponding thread
My point is: It's not going to happen lol. maybe it takes more money or the design doesn't allow it or changing the machines would be too difficult or something like that. Springs are pretty cheap (i think a $.50 to $1 per set?) and replacing screws isn't tooooo bad (unless ur puzzle falls apart and you have to reassemble it) so just do it

The Aolong V2 springs are REALLY SHORT. Anything i can do with them?

Anybody have ideas for spring swaps on a Hualong or Meiying?
Both puzzles are floppy, uncontrollable messes even on tight tensions with the stock springs. I still like solving on the Meiying, but the Hualong is almost unusable to me. Something to stabilize either puzzle or give them more snap would be great.
I'd be open to buying some springs but I already have have Yuxin Blue, Yuxin Red, and Maru soft spring sets laying around.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Your post inspired me to find a purpose for my Yuxin Blue springs. I put 'em in my wife's HuaLong. I hated it. She did too. It made it way, way too tight. even on loose tensions. Now I'm in the doghouse until I put 'em back. Don't do it. Unless you want a stiff puzzle.
To be honest, I think the stock springs were perfect. That cube is one of my favorites just the way it is.
I have a bunch of Maru springs and I have found that every puzzle I put them into just gets way too unstable. Every puzzle except my Meiyu 4x4. It worked out awesome. Pretty much everything else i did ruined it, though.
Try swapping the HuaLong and Meiying springs with each other! Let us know how it goes.

Haha, I thought about doing this for a hot second, thinking "what if it miraculously improved both puzzles?!" But I think the problem with both of them is the springs are too soft so swapping the two wouldn't make much of a difference. Sounds like the Blue springs aren't the way to go either... I do like my cubes to have some springiness to them, but not to the point of being tight.

No. The plastic of the pieces is different between the two. The OP is softer than the NP.

Well that was quick.
Why do you want to swap the springs?

I've heard that aolong springs work wonders for the np dayan 2x2, has anybody actually tried this. If so, please tell me how it went, thanks.

I have a problem with my Yuxin blue.
With the stock springs it's slow, and it feels tight. I love its feel though.
With thunderclap springs it feels too loose (even on tight tensions), and I have the feeling it's going to break because the pieces aren't well put together. I get better times, but I don't enjoy solving it.
Are there another springs that fit on this cube with a strength between the stock ones and the thunderclap ones? I have dayan springs, but they doesn't fit because the center piece is too narrow
