All my cubes suck. Badly.

 

[imaghost]

For my 3x3, I use a hybrid cube, Type A pieces from Puzzleproz and store-bought core. Not sure about what people use in competitions though...

 

[Ethan Rosen]

Usually, I use a 3x3, but when the time comes I have been known to use a 2x2, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, pyraminx, megaminx, square-1, and clock in competition as well.

Define "Professional"

 

[JTW2007]

I use:

2x2: ES Spring Mod
3x3: Black Type C with cubesmith stickers
4x4: Mefferts

It's hard to tell what you mean by "professionals." If you mean people who have held world records or currently have WRs, it varies based on personal preference.
