The Gans III sounds pretty good. I think I'd like to consider another smaller cube for OH... either 54.6mm Fangshi or the Gans III. But...

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 ;)

Quiet enough to avoid disturbing people on a bus or something?

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, 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.

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..

Then this is my MN states freestyle. The prelim is good, the final is screwed up.

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?
