Maru 5x5x5

[daniel0731ex]

Ya, but its was only an considence, maru is an brand that make good quality product, and the campagnie started in 2008, like v-cube, if im right.

your post does not make any sense to me.

And I don't think it's a coincidence.

Maybe I can translate it.

I still think I'm gonna get a V Cube instead.

Im buying a V-Cube 5 at TOW 2011,
this doesn't seem like much, just another 5x5

Or you could just get a YJ 5x5, basically the same thing but better.

Just like an iPhone and a HTT.

My YJ sucks it pops ALL the time.

I like the Ghost Hand 5x5 alot. I have the tensions pretty tight because it used to lock up a lot but I really like it now.

I love my YJ

People who like YJ don't know what an awesome V-5 feels like :3

"Campagne" is still not a word.

And no Drake, it was not a coincidence and v-cubes was founded before 2008.

Listen to this guy!

On-topic, I might give this one a try if it appears on Lightake or something.

Tension it. I hope you don't fin dthis a surprise.

Yes I do.

People who generalizes people with their preference usually have less experiance than most others. (i.e. noobs)

V5s can be good, but YJs are easier to adjust to make it good. Those who couldn't make a YJ 5x5 good are lacking skill in cube maintenance, given the adjustability of the screws.

In another word, if you can't get a V-cube right, it's not because you suck, but rather the design of the cube itself is flawed.
But in the case of YJ 5x5, it is totally yout fault because you already have the adjustable screws.

Material properties, choices of what parts to hollow out, spring stiffness, etc. It's personal preference in the end, but V-Cubes made better design choices (aside from the rivets, that's just a rapid production detail).

And if you can't get a V-Cube 5 right, you're not playing with it enough.

Lemme re-word what I'm trying to say...

Not being able to get a V-cube 5 right is means that you are not very good at cube maintenance. However, in contrast to not getting a YJ good, it's not entirely your fault because a restriction is put on one of the most important adjustability. But in the case of YJ, you really suck if you can't make it good even with the adjustable screws.

From my experience it's more beneficial to clean the gunk out of a broken in cube than to keep fiddling with the tensions. If you really must tighten a rivetted cube, you can always just put a spacer between the rivet head the spring (Torsional springs etc).

I'm not saying YJs are total poop, as I had one and used it as a main 5x5 for a period of time. However, it didn't take too long for the pieces themselves to be worn out that the poorly-designed hollowed center corners kept catching onto things as badly as the Rubik's 5x5 did. My non-adjustable V5s have each lasted significantly longer, and if I wasn't lazy, I could make them adjustable etc.

I never said that you should just fiddle with the tension. Tensioning is just one of the options that I implys when I say "adjustability".

I'm saying that you got all these options --tensioning, cleaning, lubrication type, breaking-in method-- in a YJ 5x5; yet if you still could not get it right then you just really suck.

Though I do agree on the center piece catching --it's quite annoying. But the V-cube also have the same problem---though being less merely because of the extremely tight setting. It has nothing to do with hollow centers, but rather the mechanism itself is flawed.

I have minimized the problem on my YJ to almost nothing with very precise adjustment.

What I'm trying to say is only -one- of those options doesn't exist with the V5, and if it's -really- needed, there're easy ways around it.

Also, unnecessary precise adjustments = bad design.

And of course you could always find the other way around, never said that you can't. If it's me I could easily make it good with just brief lubrication.

But I am speaking in terms of less skilled (in hardware maintenance) cubers here though, that it's not entirely your fault if you can't make V-cube decent (and that you sucks completely if you fails to tune-up a YJ).
