To give you an idea, if Florian's 5x5 was smaller, it'd be hard to decide whether to use it, or my ZhanChi.
Shengshou 4x4 and 5x5 mods?

I'm happy with my SS 5x5 without the mod. The first time I bought it, it feels sucks. But after I lube it with shock oil + maru lube, tension it and do about 20 solves it become really good.

florian seems a little bit secretive...
I modded mine aswell, but I only modded the corners, centercorners and the wingedges. So the outer layers is very good. But I'm going to try mod it so the double layers gets a bit better to.

I've done the same as you just in a extreme way. I scraped the sticker from my outer-corners

I think 'good' is relative, but for me it's way better than my v-cube (old, pops a lot). My pb average went down from 2:10 to 1:55 at that time, and now I'm averaging 1:40. Maybe with your mod I can be faster than I was now. btw I tried Felik's 5x5 at worlds, is it yours? It was a nice cube, somehow better than my 5x5, almost no locks for my fingertrick

Yes, it was my one but only with modded inner-corners and V-5 corner mod. I've done alot more since then.

I don't understand what I need to mod, but when i get that lock, i can't turn r and u sides, if i force it, 3-4 pieces pops
scrape of a bit (not just a bit) of this stick at the outer corner.

I tightened my cube a bit after i modded it.

Tightened it? I thought is was really tight out of the box. But I like loose cubes.
After I modded and loosened it, it exploded once. Then I've put it a little more tight and now only the corner-centers pop sometimes when I don't align it well.

Yes, I tightened it. Because after I modded it I sometimes got those crazy lock ups where I had to take out a piece to fix it, and the cube was a bit loose at that moment. So I just tightened it a bit and it still turns very good without lock ups.

all I did was scarping the 'edges' from the mistakes of the mould on the corners, and it already is better. took me about 10 min. when I'm done with my exams I'll do a bit more
edit: wow, 666 posts. I should leave it this way

I have the SS 4x4 V3 (The 5x5 is waiting for me at home in the mailbox) and I tried the SS 6x6. They gave me the impression that you need to mod them to have a good cube, but when you work with them for a while they turn out to be really good cubes.
I'd answer YES, it's worth it. A good mod is always worth it in a SS, otherwise you will have a potential good cube that will lock up a lot.
P.S.: I'm really, really curious about what mod did Florian do to his cube. It's really that good? I want to know!
