[Help Thread] Puzzle Choice Thread

[DavidCubie]

Thanks, i lubed. and i take whole cube apart and cleaned out washers and screws, they were so dusty. Now cube is faster.

I have question for people who own both Zhanchi and Guhong.
Now I use Zhanchi as my main cube. Unfortunately it's too fast for me for blindfolded solving (it's very unstable, which make it great for sighted solving but in blind my moves are not so precise so I have to focus more on moves to not accidently flip unwanted face). For blind I use SS Wind, but its M layer doesn't move smooth enough for me.
I need cube that is more stable than Zhanchi and have smoother M layer than SS Wind. Is Guhong good choice for this requirements? Or maybe you can recommend other cube?

Guhong. Awesome M slices + controllable + smooth

Guhong. Awesome M slices + controllable + smooth

you forgot something, it's super fast

 

[Ramo]

Which is the best out of the following three:
Fangshi Shuang Ren, The FangCun, or a Lubix Guhong V2

Not faster than a Zhanchi though

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Fangshi isn't out yet, we don't know how fast it is.

 

[Ramo]

but based on the prototype?

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Doesn't say anything. Prototypes are that, prototypes. The final product can come out quite different in feel.

 

[Ramo]

So if not the fangshi, which of the other two?

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Please don't pm me with same questions as here, that is what this forum is for to post here

I don't know the fangcun, so my vote will be the guhong. It's a good cube with solid backing.

I wasn´t that impressed by the Fangcun itself, but it became better when I put Dayan springs, washer and screws in it. I do prefer my Lubix Guhong, but I wouldn´t say that it´s necessarily better.

 

[Ramo]

What's better, a Shengshou Pyraminx or a QJ pyraminx?

I need a 5x5 that won't pop. I don't mind if it is slow or locks up it just can't pop.

Shengshou

Aren't there any that pop less? I need it not to pop because I will be using it on a pier and don't want any pieces to go over the edge.

If you tighten the tensions than it will hardly pop

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Less popping? Lanlan. Or indeed tighten it a bit more.

Okay, thank you!
