So then can we agree that a haiyan corner modded A-V > an FII?

 

[riffz]

people with REAL mature taste will prefer the AV. FIIs are for kids.

Except for Harris Chan and Rowe Hessler... but they wouldn't know what they're talking about. :rolleyes:

theyre just totally different feels. ive had my modded AV longer and like it much better than my FII, though i consider my FII my backup speedcube. Idk, i feel like the FII turns in directions I dont want to and doesnt stop where i want it to. im just used to my AV. ive heard shock oil can slow down the FII tho, i might try that

 

[Drax]

Both are great cubes, just different styles tho.

The F-II is slightly slower, yet smoother overall. The Alpha-V is fast and crispy.
Get the F-II if you like solving the cube in one fluid and constant motion,
the A-V if you like the short, choppy, "execute individual algorithms ridiculously fast" solve.

k. how bout A-V(modded)/Haiyan Memory vs. F-II?

 

[boyscout]

Definitely FII for my style

I have a Type F-II and I all I have to say about it is: it pops WAY too much. And when it pops, entire rows come out.

If I tighten it, it turns too slow. If I loosen it, it pops too much. Already, at settings that pop VERY frequently, it's just barely as fast as I want it.

tighten it till its close to, but doesnt pop and lube that baby until you get the speed you want.

F-II NEVER pops. I got mine assembled and you should never screw around with the tension (pun)
I've had a few A-V pops so far.

 

[denhil3]

this two are one the best but i like a-v more. F2 pop to much. If u know how to mod the a-v, it will be awesome

 

[Zava]

a-V (modded) for 2h, f2 for OH, if we're only talking about this two cubes.
if not, just get dayans

 

[Zane_C]

I love my F2 for OH, but I experience a lot of pops for 2 hands. My tension on my A5 needs to adjusted.

 

[04mucklowd]

I hate my F2

I have the same if I use my f2 for 2h it pops but for OH its amazing

 

[Shortey]

All I want to say is: A-V

F II is great, but a modded alpha V ties it. The F II has more speed, but Alpha locks up a lot less, so they are tied to me. Personally, though i prefer F II, since i am more used to it (i just finished modding my Alpha last night)
