Hello,
I have never physically touched a 4x4 in my life, that is how little experience I have with 4x4's. I just skipped straight to the 5x5 and I have decided to backtrack and get a 4x4. I've heard of some cubes that are good by the following brands:
1. Maru 4x4
2. YJ 4x4
3. QJ 4x4
4...
I just got my Dayan 4x4 today and it's nice(compared to my old jank Rubiks brand) and cuts pretty well but is a little rough to turn. It definitely needs some lube but I'm not sure how to do it. Last time I tried to lube a 4x4 I destroyed it. I have Lubix and then some generic silicone spray...
Edit: Please find the latest suggestions in this thread here.
Ok, so I am really sick of people asking what kind of cubes should they get.
It seems that I have started the "The XXX Thread" wave at this forum, although some of the threads are pretty useful, the invarible title really annoys me...

So ive been wondering for a while whether there is a point at which loosening the tension will start to make the cube lock-up more and that until that point, it turns better without lock-ups until said point.
I also think that just loosening the cube in general makes it lock-up more often...
The center cap (or w/e you call it) snapped (well, "flew") off of my cube when i was turning it (i just finished lubing/sanding it) and it won't go back on!! (like, it snapped off and I can't tell if there's supposed to be a piece inside or something, but it won't stay on... every time i put it...
anyone familiar with this 4x4 method? anyway i'm looking into this and actually trying this out. F3L is really really easy but I got really confused about which algorithms to use for which case when it comes to last layer. step 7 at http://blue.kracknet.net/~snkenjoi/k4/ gives a list of a bunch...
I need help making my time better... I use reduction(6 edge pairing method) followed by fridrich F2l then 3look LL.
My average is about 3 mins and i think I've finished reduction at around 1:30-1:45.. the rest is all 3x3x3.. which i think i'll improve on one day..
In my reduction, my...
