Wait a minute..... I recognise that YouTube URL hmmm. It's great to see that cubers are helping out other cubers (and I also didn't know Rick Astley was getting into cubing but you learn something new everyday ey?)

AIII JUST WANNA BE SUB 10

I JUST WANNA SUB-0, I just can’t reach it

 

[Mo_A2244]

I JUST WANNA SUB-0, I just can’t reach it

Maybe one day..

 

[Porcupine01]

Maybe one day..

Yes, it might be cause I don’t practice enough, I’m only Sub-2

 

[SH03L4C3]

Yes, it might be cause I don’t practice enough, I’m only Sub-2

in 1x1?

 

[Mo_A2244]

I'd say you should learn TJIGKON, that's an advanced method for Sub-3, stands for "This-Joke-Is-Getting-Kinda-Old-Now..."

New argument: Feel is more important than performance for most cubes. Obviously performance is important but feel is even more because it encourages me to practice more.

That is objectively true, so I don't think it's a good argument

Unless you are good at training your brain. By this I mean that even though you could have a bad feeling cube (that performs well), you can ignore that as an excuse and instead develop a mindset that the skill is what really matters since it's this what will bring down the times.

You could be a bit more specific here, for you could be talking about getting faster (which is what I argued), or simply enjoying cubing (which in this case I agree with you).

I would agree. I think my GTS2M (old main) performs slightly better than my valk elite, but I like the feel better on the valk.

I have a 55mm black Tengyun v1, and a 56mm stickerless XS. I love the feeling of the Tengyun, and the performance is outstanding. However, the stickers are chipping (that's my bad), and now it's harder to lookahead/track pieces since there is less to look at, on top of the smaller size of the pieces.

On the other hand, the XS is 1mm larger, and stickerless, meaning I can easily find pieces when I'm solving. I haven't really found the perfect setting, but the performance is pretty good despite the not-the-best-feeling-compared-to-the-Tengyun. The XS is simply more practical in my case, and for this reason I found myself using it more than the Tengyun.
