Normal cuts take less effort and reverse is a touch better. I've only tried it at comps as I don't own one but I do remember that it was good.

Is it possible to swap pieces in the wingy v2 with tornado v3 pioneer to make this skewb maglev?

@Bingus Ringus McDingus I’m planning to buy a wingy v2 with some parts of a tornado v3 pioneer and try to make it maglev, just wanna make sure I would work. (4 sets of maglev rings of a tornado v3 pioneer would cost me nearly $5 which is like half the price of a wingy v2 already)

Also her gan 12 m leap always accidentally do wide moves especially F & F’. I tried my best to set it up, but I just can’t find the right settings for it as I am not very familiar with gan 3x3s.
Anyway, she has just ordered a UV Coated GAN 11 M Pro with Ruihang’s signature setup from Pi Cube, and she’s now using my Pi Cube Premium UV Coated YS3M with custom blue nuts.
However, we still want to try fix her GAN 12. Is it just the problem with the leap version and I better get a maglev one?

Is it catching or just turning on its own? The catching issue is just a fundamental early-batch GAN 12 thing across both Maglev and Leap but if it turns on its own, consider some heavier lube.

Would the Zhilong Mini 3x3 be too small for OH?

My hands are not so big (just average female teenager size) and I like the size of the Zhilong mini. However, I couldn't turn as fast as I'd like, because I find the magnets too strong for my not so big hand. I had no problems with the small slice moves.
I do now use the ys3m ballcore, because it's smaller than most (55 mm) and the magnets are less strong than in the Zhilong mini and it is fast.

I'm not the person to know that, as I don't own a Wingy and have only tried them in comps or from friends. I don't think it would work though, as the Wingy doesn't have a screw like the Tornado does.

Is the Yuxin Little Magic Pyraminx any good? I've heard that there are bad batches; is that anything to worry about?

Someone correct if I’m wrong, but the new pyras aren’t as good as the old ones, since Yuxin changed the way they produced them.

The quality control is just bad, especially the later batches

Yes and no. According to Ghostcuber(Stevin Wintringham) the newer batches with the tall boxes are the bad ones. While the older batch with the short cubic box is the best batch according to Stevin. IDK how easy it is to obtain the older original cubic box batched ones. But on the sidenote the Moyu RS(Standard) and Monster Go Pyra are good alternatives.

Did you know that the Dayan 2x2 still is good?

I've made my tengyun v1 2x2 core-magnetic lately and its now my new main over the Valk with MGC springs, MGC elite and the chuwen M

Yes, like others said, the newer batches are worse than the older, but they are still good. Looking at the most mained pyraminxes in de pyraminxers discord group, the ylm and weilong are by far the most mained ones.

And a lot of those ylms are new batches. Dutch nr holder uses new batch pyra to for example. (I do too)

The thing is: there is not a best pyraminx. Weilong and ylm are used a lot, but you can definitely prefer something else. I like the mr m too e.g. but I like the ylm too.

I used the bell v2 first, by then I tried others at a comp and I didnt like it that much anymore.

 

[CodingCuber]

Put simple:
Unless you can get your hands on an old batch, the Weilong is generally a safer option.

I'm talking 2014 Dayan 2x2, not Tengyun. Like 42mm Zhanchi days
