What's the best DIY Cube To Buy in 2011?

[Incanumix]

Hey guys.
I've recently learned to solve the rubiks cube.
Time is around 50 second average.

I use the original rubik's cube.

I'm looking to buy a Rubiks DIY Cube, but I can't seem to find the best I can buy.

Can anyone suggest a good DIY Cube to buy, as in the best DIY out this year? and a link to the sale please?

Lots of information on this here:

Pretty much anything is going to be better than what you have.

There are several good cubes but as the choice is down to personal preference, it's hard to recommend a certain cube to a stranger.

Without knowing your style, I would recommend one of the following as you can't really go wrong with either:

DaYan LunHui

DaYan LingYun

DaYan GuHong

The most popular cube at the moment is the GuHong. If price isn't a problem, a brillianly set up version can be bought from lubixcube.com

Thanks guys.

I looked around the forum, and youtube for over an hour, and have seen alot.
I've noticed that alot of people say the A5 is the fastest, but on youtube I notice it isn't so smooth and easy to turn in peoples hands, even though it's been lubed.
AII seems pretty fast and nice.
The GuHong's arn't fast, they seem pretty wierd though, on the inside, and turning.

I looked at the FII, and noticed it wasn't as good as the AII, AII had better reps from alot of people.

I'm kind of aiming for speed and no pops, locks and things like that.

AII, FII, or any cube that's doesn't have pop and lock problems?

I'm mostly in for speed, and easy of turning.

What do you guys suggest?
GuHong(What Type?) FII, AII, AIII or Any other?

Properly lubed it's really fast. Beside that it's one of the only cubes with noticable reverse corner cutting. Also the normal conercutting is 45°++. Reason: the "weird" design

FII: is very smooth but not as fast as the dayans, CC is ok but not amazing.

If you want smooth turning you should pick Dayan Lingyun, for a bit more speed GuHong.
LunHui is similar to the Lingyun but not popable and with a few more lockups.

The GuHong is better than any Alpha or ShengEn cube. The F-II and the Alpha V are the old "great" Cubes. DaYan makes the better cubes now. If you're in it for pure turning speed then get the LunHui.

short and sweet

guhong for speed corner cutting and availability
lunhui for the same things plus it doesnt pop but it isnt available at every cube store. (its new)

lingyun is not for you. it pops.

other cubes like AV and FII are good just not as good

You mean the alpah cc :confused:

When I started cubing, I was taught that there is no better cube. It's all personal preference. What happened while I was away? I for one love my F-II. There are many cubes that you must get used to, but once you have, you're set. Many of the DaYan cubes are fast, minimal pops, minimal locks, good corner cutting. However, I find this promotes sloppy turning.

So really, It's all preference. In my opinion, I would get the LunHui for comps. but have a Maru or Type C to practice.

Edit:

You mean the alpah cc :confused:

Nah, I think he means Corner Cutting.

People are saying:
GuHong, LingHui, FII, A-V.

I don't want pops or locks, and I want speed.
What's the best?

In your opinion. I loved my FII.

Come on guys.
Suggest me, I've never bought a DYI cube, so I wouldn't know what to expect.
I want speed, no pops or locks.
I've decided either GuHong, FII, or A/V.
I can't decide between those three
I might buy 2, what do you suggest?

How accurately do you turn?

How accurately do you turn?

With my original cube, I turn at a max 3~5dg turn maybe?, when I'm speed cubing, otherwise, it's pretty much 0dg turns.
