No, I don't think I've seen your turn style (unless I just can't remember). You have a video somewhere? I think it's quieter than a Zhanchi.

The Gan III is definatly better than 54.6 ShuanRen.. Gan III is more stable, faster and has no corner twists. Only the sound of the ShuangRen is much better. Gan III is very loud. Louder than MoyU huangYing. The Moyu Weilong is the most silent cube I have. (I have 3 and all very silent). Just needs a little braking in before it is really silent (just like with Zhanchi).

I don't know... my normal sized Fangshi doesn't corner twist on me. And I don't like loud cubes which is one reason why I never got a Huanying. Marcel, are you practicing OH?

Yes, a lot. I average now 1.30 (one minute less than a month ago). I use the 55mm Zhanchi for that. The last two days have I been using the Gan III. I think it is great for OH since it is more forgiving than the Zhanchi. But the sound is a real dealbreaker.. I am thinking about stuffing the corners so that it becomes quiet

Shengshou Aurora is by far the quietest cube I have. When slow solving it can be virtually silent. I don't think any cube would be quiet enough not to disturb others with full speed solving unless you have an incredibly accurate style.

Yeah I have a bunch of solves on my channel. I wish I hadn't put music on the 14.06 average.. Oh well.

This is a good example.

That would be my signature shirt lol. I wore a tux shirt to yoyo competitions for many years. Then I outgrew the shirt. So I got a new one!

Yeah, what's with bowtie? Nice videos. Didn't know about your channel as it's not on your profile. I should probably film some fast solves of mine. Last time I did some real solves I wasn't even sub-20 and last Ao5 I uploaded was a slow turning thing. Seeing your 12.xx solve, I wonder if that's what it looks like when I get 12.xx solves too.
Well, as mark49152 said, I don't know if there's a cube that would be quiet enough with you going full speed.

The bowtie is just a shirt that looks like a tuxedo. It suits me.. (Wow bad pun there) I notice a lot of people have funny looking wrist movements when they solve. I move as little as possible. But I would imagine yours look very similar to mine since we average about the same.

Me in 2011. Case and point, notice the tux. I've been doing it since 2010.

Ok! I made this on vacation in WY/SD/MO with a cheap plastic yoyo for a video contest. You had to use that yoyo..

First one: Cool video, music, stunts...
I didn't even know you could do all these things with a yoyo until I watched your first video. My extent of yoyoing was things like around the world and walking the dog... lol. So you choreograph your entire routine?
