@caleb_g Here's a video of the solve.

It looks like it could be the Hong but there's no logo so idk.
It's a darker green though

Woah, congrats Max, wild.

Thanks for editing my post! (If that was you)

32.523 is a palindrome

LET's GO! sub 32 looking possible?

Max posted a 28.8s solve he caught on cam a while ago
also
a reputable source informed me (a few months back) that
Max has several sub-30s solves on 5×5 at home

and my PB is 2:13

mine as well bruh haha

max is the goat

Max is just insane yo!

Congrats Max!

Anybody know what cube he used?

QiYi said he used the Hong

 

[artless1der]

QiYi said he used the Hong

kinda makes sense, it does have core-corner magnets and newer mech/size...

first the TV3 and now the HONG

. . .just saying, now it's time for Qiyi to come out with some new better 6x6 and 7x7 cubes as well

Hey, the spark is really good if you compress the springs (thanks @xyzzy !!!)

mine as well bruh haha

My personal best is like 1:04. He solved 2x faster than me.

Same!
Bro he's just too fast lol

yes, a few years ago both of mine got that mod I mentioned to you a while back
otherwise it's basically absurd how slow it is (for $60 haha)
but
Qiyi/Xman can and should do us better with some new (and smaller) mech

[edit:] I have heard of a similar mod working great for the Valk 5
. . . . .
I swapped Valk 3M springs into my MGC 5 and that actually made it much faster and more fluent at tighter tensions!booyah!

I compressed my Valk 5 springs, and I did it a little too far, so I need to uncompress them again.

How does compressing springs work?

5 times faster than me...

It's kinda weird. Basically, when you unscrew the screw and take the spring out, it's a certain size and strength. If you take it and push down to compress it, and hold it long enough, it becomes smaller. This small size allows the cube to be fast on tighter tensions. It's extremely helpful on slow big cubes (like the Valk 5 and the Spark).

Okay. I was thinking of doing it to the aofu, since it kinda feels a little slow on tighter tensions.
