Need help picking the right type of cube for me

[kvaele]

Forgive me for sounding inexperienced, because I am, but I need help picking a good cube for me. I want a cube with minimal pops or locks, that turns fairly smoothly, and can cut corners about 1/2 cube. What do you recommend? I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but I do not know much about the types of cubes.

Almost all newer ones can cut at least half a cubie assuming your tensions are pretty normal. They all turn smoothly by different definitions too. Minimal pops depends on your tensions. Locks depends on your tensions, and your style...

So, Basically, any cube will work?

Pretty much... Even if you don't like it at first, you'll learn to like it...

Thanks!

I can't help but recommend the F-II. I just got it a couple days ago and it is incredibly fast and can cut corners ~ 35 degrees

If you want smooth, F-II is the way to go.

Only downside is it it's loose, you'll get pops. Just keep it at the right tension settings and you'll be fine though.

Thank you! I'll give it a try. Anything is better then my cube, which cuts corners about 3 degrees, is way to tight, locks up every 2-3 turns, and is not smooth at all. I think it is a Rubiks brand, and not made for speedsolving.

Give the classics a go, Alpha I (Old Type A) and the Type C...

av if your cubing style is choppiy if its fluent id say f2 personally i love both dayan guhong for me is like a mix of both

I'd personally recommend the Maru DIY kit, but it's not as mainstream.

Alpha I was my first speedcube, and I got to sub-30 with it.
