Does the SS 5x5 lock up a lot? How do you like it compared to the V cube?

The ShengShou doesn't lock very much and i like it much more because it's lighter and feels better in my hands. The ShengShou feels smoother.
The ShengShou Feliks used is modded, because the ShengShou has bumbs on the corners too.
 
W00T! First (recorded) sub-15 ao12: 13.80 =D PB
Also, a couple PB singles in that, my best was 13.37! Last two solves were sub-12. PB single is 11.26 =0

Felt like amazing look ahead and TPS for me! I hope I don't start sucking all of a sudden now... I will try to record some solves now.

All full step. Counting high 12 :(

Edit:

stats: (hide)
number of times: 100/100
best time: 6.93
worst time: 37.20

current avg5: 11.35 (σ = 0.97)
best avg5: 9.20 (σ = 0.43)

current avg12: 11.32 (σ = 1.58)
best avg12: 9.89 (σ = 0.60)

current avg100: 10.79 (σ = 1.41)
best avg100: 10.79 (σ = 1.41)

session avg: 10.79 (σ = 1.41)
session mean: 11.02

A pop and a 14 towards the end ruined my chance to break a PB set loooong time ago. 0.07 away from PB avg100..had 2 sub-10 avg12s in there though :)
