Ghosthand I would be a good choice

I second that. Its easy to control, finger trickable, and very cheap. The stickers aren't the best, but better than Rubik's

What's the main difference between a GuHong II and my ZhanChi? I think I'll get a WitTwo too (haha).

Preformance wise the difference is minimal, but they have pretty different feels. I personally like the feel of the GuHong v2 over the ZhanChi. (and the wittwo is awesome BTW)

I actually like the stickers. I am almost tempted to change all my cubes to that softer, brighter blue color

 

[jdbryant]

I think I'll get a white GuHong v2, a white WitTwo, a ShengShou v4 4x4, and possibly a white ZhanChi.

Yeah the shades are great, but they peel and chip.

SS or YJ
SS is a very good 7x7 and the only Cubic 7x7 on the market
YJ Is a good cheap pillowed 7x7

Hello all, so ive been thinking about getting a new puzzle, and i was thinking about getting a 6x6 or maybe a 7x7. i had a 7x7, but it broke. i thought maybe a different puzzle maybe would be good instead. so, what would you recommend, 7x7, 6x6, or Other? (if other comment which one and price/where to buy it) (also comment what brand of 6x6/7x7 you would recommend and price/where to buy it) thanks!

 

[Akash Rupela]

I think its totally personal preference. I'd say get a 6x6.

Source: I have both a 6x6 and 7x7, and i hate the 7x7 cuz it just feels redundant to apply the same concept over and over!

I have a sticker less zhanchi and am looking for a new 3x3, but I'm stuck on the feel of the zhanchi. I have smaller hands and was thinking of a mini zhanchi either the 55mm or the 50mm. I really want the 50mm but I think it might be a little to small. Any thoughts on the 2?

 

[cubeone]

I don't have any experience with the 50, and I don't know how big your hands are, but I do have a 55 and I must say that it is quite smooth, compared to how a normal zhanchi is so clicky, so you might not want to get a 55 if you really want that clicky feel.

 

[ducttapecuber]

I like clickier/crispier cubes, but not like crazy annoying clicky. I like the feel of a ~150 times solved zhanchi, and I love my well broken-in Guhong v2. What else would you recommend that I try?

alpha V

I have an AV but it pops waaay to much

lingyun v2

 

[McCuber16]

I want a cube that doesnt lock up as much and has average popping. The C4Y I have locks up waaay to much.

Also, I want to decide on either the AV, Haiyans cube, or Ghosthand 2. help?

Get a Dayan Zhanchi they are super fast and super cheap. Amazon.com has great deals.

Thanks, I was considering the 55mm but was unsure if it was the best size and model .Is their a certain way I should tension it ?

Normal Zhanchi size is 57 mm.

 

[canadiancuber]

i want a cube that can cut corners well, doesnt lock up much, and is smooth. id prefer if it was smooth although i dont mind "choppy i guess?" thanks in advance

edit: also doesnt pop very often even at a mid-highish tension
