I've heard that aolong springs work wonders for the np dayan 2x2, has anybody actually tried this. If so, please tell me how it went, thanks.

I suppose that feet may become more popular if companies produced a cube better for feet solving than what we have already. This has been seen with the qiyi Sq1 and probably will be the same with their clock. I think that it really depends on whether or not companies see feet as a potential...

I enjoy feet. While I am useless at it, it gives a greater range of skills that people can compete with. Also, it combines the dexterity required for speedsolving with the need for efficiency found in FMC. Other than OH, it is the only event so dependent on both. Finally, imo it is a novel way...

Which cube would you say feels most like a tanglong (in terms of weight, feel etc.) but comes in stickerless? The mars seemed to be good but they discontinued the stickerless, what would you recommend? Thanks

But why not just put the method you use to solve in comps since declaring your main method, that way you can't put a joke answer as people could refer to the method claimed to be used and what was actually done. Also, I imagine that it would be very difficult to be method neutral and as fast as...

Firstly, despite feeling smaller in the hands than most cubes that are of the same 56mm size, it is very comfortable to hold. The cube is reasonably fast, light and fairly flexible, reminding me somewhat of a Gans cube. The squared off corners prevent twists during solves, although can be forced...

However, I could never get used lbl, and so used petrus as beginner method, and found that much easier because of having fewer OLL algs. That's why I started with petrus and so continue with it, even though I don't know any other petrus users.

Actually, wouldn't a cube rotation followed by a commutator work for some cases. They tend to be efficient and can cycle pieces from one layer and another from the incomplete layer. As they are used in FMC, I am sure that they could be found fairly intuitively, using mirrors and inversions to...

Thanks, I suppose that it might be possible to learn at least most of the algs.

Hi, I have had an idea for a 2x2 method, which works as follows: 1)solve three corners of a layer; 2)insert the last corner and force an oll and pll skip. Would this be a viable method? Also, how many algorithms would be necessary and would be move efficient? Thanks for any help.

I do have a yuexiao, but I find it slightly too fast for me, I have tried lubing it but that didn't seem to have a lasting effect. Are there cubes that fit the criteria but are slightly slower? thanks

Hi, does anyone know of a cube that: is stable, doesn't feel airy, comes in stickerless, is controllable and preferably comes in 56mm? The last part isn't necessary but would be a bonus. Thanks.

Hi, as moyu have released dual adjustment tool kits, would the yuexiao kit work with other 56mm cubes. I thought that with the yuexiao being so stable that using the same hardware would make other cubes more stable. I thought this because I don't want to wait for moyu to repeatedly sell the same...

I want companies to start mass producing pre magnetized cubes.

Stickerless possible?
