GAN 356 Air SM

[MoyuDayanLover3]

Feliks have been cubing for almost ten years, I think he knows how to set up his own cube.

Well, he also knows how to set up he UM.

but the UM almost kinda setup from factory, isn't it? What I've heard the standard and ultimate feel pretty different. The slight change in performance may be outweighed by the "performance" change due to his personal preference.

356 -> 356 S -> 356 Air -> 356 Air S

Feliks' "Air SM" is probably an "ultimate" version, a Air SUM

Yes, and the ultimate has better performance than the standard.

I feel Feliks is forced to use Gans because of sponsorship. I don't know why. I remember seeing his WR single solve and he didn't seem satisfied with his cube.

He could always leave and get sponsored by any other company. I think he likes being sponsored by gans because he likes there 333 and he can use whatever he wants for other events.

That is a plus, being able to use Qiyi, Moyu, or Yuxin for 2x2, and 4x4-7x7 (Though if it were me, I'd choose to be sponsored by Qiyi).

I have found out for sure from various sources that the Air SM is actually the AirS M, meaning it is the magnetic version of the second iteration of the Air, or AirS.

Why would Feliks get such good times on it then, when he likes the ultimate more than the regular air? (2 6.45 averages and many sub 7 averages)

Well, he actually switched to the SM.

What sources?
e: nvm I found it

I think Feliks said in an interview (dlsone?) that he likes Gan because of how they treat their workers, implying that other companies don't have too good labour conditions.

Where? Can you post a link?

 

[Competition Cuber]

Did anyone else notice that he used the SM in his 5.97 WR? He said so in the description of the video.

 

[JustAnotherGenericCuber]

Where? Can you post a link?

On qiyis facebook page
E: lol I meant gans

On qiyis facebook page

Oh I can't use facebook. Any other place I can find it?

 

[JustAnotherGenericCuber]

In Rami's new video (insanecuber) about his mains/goals he talks about it. He's going to get one in a few days

Theory: the gans air 356 SM will be released at worlds in the Nation Cup. We have known for months that everyone participating will have to use a cube supplied by GAN and Rubik's that is "based on the air model". Since the release is coming up, having the nation cup participants use it first seems like a reasonable idea in my opinion. Anyone else have any thoughts?

Your probably right. I hope that if that is right, that I can try them out when I go!

Am I the only one that can't go to Worlds? Oh and link to Feliks' mains: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1etN_cYzamRragAUqp06ybWQmBOP91s3WeZNn0spiVT4/edit#gid=0

I'm surprised how many different GOOD speedcubers (i average 20s) have replied to this thread. I would like to thank ALL of you guys!
