What 4x4 is the best?

[Marwin]

hello Cuber,
I would like to buy a new 4x4.
what is the best of them
Mefferts, Eastsheen, cloned mefferts or Rubiks:confused::confused:

 

[AvGalen]

If you have big hands: Mefferts
If you have small hands: Eastsheen

Rubiks isn't good anymore. The older models used to be better
Cloned Mefferts....why not a real one?

 

[Kidstardust]

hey marvin at the german open you had my white mefferts. and you said that you did with this cube your personal best. Mefferts has a cheap twin set with the white and black cube.

Monkeydude1313 has vids on them. Don't get a Mefferts, the tiles are illegal for WCA competitions. Get a C4Y brand 4x4

Facepalm?

Mefferts tiles are legal. C4Y does not own that 4x4, he just happens to sell it.

mefferts ftw

 

[JTW2007]

I have small hands, and I still prefer mefferts. They aren't that bad to handle. I'd say mefferts is better than eastsheen, but only just.

If the tiles were illegal in competitions, most people would never use them.

Get a Mefferts.

get white meffert's 4x4 tiled from cube4you

I have a black mefferts. Its pretty stiff when you first get it, but after some lubing and breaking in, its amazing. If you get a mefferts, you might want to take off the tiles and re-glue them on yourself, because the adhesive on the tiles aren't very reliable

 

[Yes We Can!]

if you have too small hands, you can replace the tiles with stickers btw.

Why are you so rude to rcnrcn927?

According to WCA regulation "3f", tiles must not exceed 1.5 mm. I don't understand why the rule exists at all, or why it gets ignored if the Mefferts tiles happen to exceed 1.5 mm. (I don't have one, so I cannot measure the tiles.)

Meffert's tiles are illegal in competitions

MEfferts tiles are illegal for WCA competitions

I've heard Mefferts is better, but the tiles are illegal for competitions. If you could get a stickered mefferts or put cubesmith tiles on it, go for it.

Best get a C4Y. I would rather have a more common brand, but the tiles are illegal for competitions. If you could get a stickered one from Mefferts.com, where shipping might be cheaper, that might be good. You could also, if you were really rigorous, try to replace the Mefferts tiles with Cubesmith ones.

That's why...

According to WCA regulation "3f", tiles must not exceed 1.5 mm. I don't understand why the rule exists at all, or why it gets ignored if the Mefferts tiles happen to exceed 1.5 mm. (I don't have one, so I cannot measure the tiles.)

I have measured mine and they appear to be ≥1.5mm, so they are competition legal (excluding BLD because of the logos).
rcnrcn927, please stop spouting.

Regulation 3l clearly says you can't have more than one logo. It doesn't say anything about this being required only because of BLD. It's a kind of silly rule to enforce in this case, which is why pretty much all delegates/judges have decided to allow them. But it doesn't change the fact that the Meffert's cubes as shipped are clearly illegal according to the letter of the regulations.

Hopefully the rules will be changed next year to reflect this. Perhaps this is such a messy issue that it would warrant a change of the rules now, despite it being mid-year.

Did you intend "less than or equal" rather than "greater than or equal"?

 

[Unknown.soul]

Less than or equal to.

 

[Marwin]

Thank you all for the answers. Now i will buy a Mefferts Twin Pack with stickers.
