Best OH cube

[Mike Crozack]

I just started OH a few days ago, I have big hands but like a smaller cube in my hands, but if i could get a hold on a good OH cube thats normal sized i would use it.

 

[deathbypapercutz]

I've been wondering the same thing, except that I started OH more than a few days ago.

Guhong. I pretty much hate everything else.

I like my F II better than any Guhong I've tried for OH, though I use the Guhong for 2H. It's just my personal preference, though, I don't suppose it's the best for everyone by any means.

Wow, another weird name for the Alpha mini poping out.

I don't understand how people came up with all these variations....

It's called Alpha mini, or mini Alpha, or whatever as long as it's just Alpha and mini (just these two words +the measurement; e.x. "Alpha mini 5.2", or "miniA 4.6". Any variation is fine as long as it's correct).

NOT A-V, or "memory", or mircowave, or whatever crap it's being referred as out there on youtube.


ON-TOPIC:
Alpha Haiyan is the best (in my opinion) for OH.

Have you felt Phil Yu's?

I also like mine, though Phils' is the best I've ever felt by far.

Can you use a cube that has smaller edges&corners then the centers on OH in a competition?
Or do all cubies need to be the same size?

 

[antoineccantin]

I use AV-f. I lubed the core with jigaloo and it turns super well and never locks-up (I have tryed F-II, Guhong, Lingyun, mini type A(52mm), c4y, ghosthand 1&2, maybe more?...)

No other option in the poll?

EDIT: I average about 30 seconds btw

 

[sa11297]

at first I was using a mini Alpha (52mm) but it doesnt reverse corner cut at all so I use a Guhong right now. I love it but it took a while to get used to the size. I put mine really loose.

 

[AnsonL]

lingyun is definetely better than F II.not sure about guhong though.

 

[Tim Major]

LingYun. (Tim McMahon's LingYun to be precise)

 

[blakedacuber]

im using a linyung which i love for OH i avg 28ish with it so yeah....

I personally use a F-II, but the "best" OH cubes I've ever felt were Jeremy's Lingyun and Max's micro(?) type A.
It really depends on your style. As long as you have a "controllable" cube you should be fine for a while.
I've met kids at competitions who claim that they have a cube that is AMAZING for OH just because it's insanely loose, which is dumb lol.

[a small kitten]

Yeah. It's very loose because my hand is very small.

I've tried using a guhong for OH and I hate it. I find it way too smooth so I have no control. I tried fussing with the tension but couldn't find a happy medium between too tight and too loose. I absolutely love AVs for OH though. less friction than an F2 but have a crispy, clicky feel, that makes them very controllable. btw, I use an F2 for 2H.

I wasn't arguing that loose cubes are bad for OH. I was merely referring to kids who aren't into OH that just assume the looser the cube, the better it is for OH solving.
I do remember trying Phil's cube, but don't particularly remember exactly what it felt like. I'm sure it is indeed quite good though.

 

[teller]

FWIW, I always use my Haiyan Memory for OH (normally F-II main).

 

[Shortey]

AV's and GuHongs are pretty nice. The old LingYuns are amazing iirc.
