Finding a right cube

[littlejkim]

Hi, i'm a current cuber with a time of 1:03 (avg using Fridrich method with a Cube for you Glow in the dark DIY. After using the cube, I decided to get another one (for christmas). I was thinking about 3 cubes (max is 3): Type A 3x3x3 DIY Cube(I) (I believe this is the old type a, correct me if I'm wrong), Type C 3x3x3 DIY Cube(I), and Type D 3x3x3 Cube(I). I would like to ask, 1.) Are these cubes good?
2.)Could I possibly make a hybrid?
3.)Are there better cubes out there? (on cube4you.com only)

Thanks

I personally don't like the type A I because it pops quite a bit on me. But that's just me. I really like the new type A III because it's made to almost never pop and it's fast. Doesn't cut corners that well though. The F II is also good, fast, doesn't pop much, and cuts corners. C II seems to be good, though I don't use it as much.

i use a C4U speedcube, and i am presently surprised, i was able to loosen it without the pieces constantly popping out, and when it was tight, it still turned well. It has great cutting ability, but is slightly slower then other models ive seen

Hmmmm. I don't like the new type a's because of the centers and edges (they look fragile) I want F diy but all of them are out of stock I guess i'll get a old type a, type c diy, and a type d I. What do you guys think?

I use a type A with Rubik's cubies. I average about 13. Just experiment a little. Also, type C's come recommended by a lot of people, I like mine, but I use it for one-handed (and it works like a charm). I've used type A's ever since I started cubing, but hey, it's all preference. I think that A, C, and D are good cubes to start on.

 

[littlejkim]

Thanks, I think I'll get those three plus some type a screws. Are there no diy's for type D's?

 

[littlejkim]

Ohh darn I want a blue Type F but there all out.. crud

 

[littlejkim]

Oh, hey do you know any other diy cubes? cause I don't want to buy a boxed cube (type d)??

 

[DavidSanders]

Definitely do not get the type D. I would advise a type F II or C II instead of that. You might even want to drop the type A. The cube I am most satisfied with is the type C, so definitely stick with that.

Type cII, c, FII, F, A, AII, AIII, AV, Tai Yan II, and many other cubes are all great speed cubes, just experiment a bit and find the cube that's right for you.

 

[littlejkim]

I think I'll keep the old type A because of the recommended core. So, if I drop the old type A, what will I put in?

New A II

It's easy to find a right cube. Every cube you find in stores is a right cube. I had to take mine apart to convert it to a left-handed cube.

 

[littlejkim]

Type F I vs. Type F II
Choose please

 

[littlejkim]

I meant a right cube for me

 

[dannyz0r]

How would we know what cube is right for you when we aren't you?

 

[littlejkim]

I was asking for information so I can choose the right cube for me. Sorry, my mistake

 

[daniel0731ex]

type c never fails you.

or you could just use Jesus cube.

 

[Yichen]

for beginner....i think type c is better, type A new 3rd model is also a very good cube
