Alpha V

[Cube321]

I'm getting my alpha 5 DIY in a few weeks. My first DIY cube, from the research I've done it seems like a great cube.

If you average more than a minute there is absolutely no reason to get a DIY. No reason at all.

And the Alpha V is a fantastic cube after the memory mod. It pops a bit more than I'd like but still a great cube.

You should have no reason to buy a DIY cube. I normally use a GuHong and average about 17, but I can still manage to average 18 with a Rubik's brand (that has been lubed). Cubes don't make too much of a difference to your times, especially at your level.

diy cubes do make a huge difference in 2x2, 4x4, and 5x5 cubes if you a switching from a rubiks brand

Nicer to turn, so more enjoyable to solve.
Less lock ups, so less frustrating.
Accommodates finger tricks so you are less likely to be learning bad habits.
It's fun getting new cubes and seeing how they feel and compare to others.

There are just 4 reasons to get a new cube. So please, none of this 'no reason' rubbish.

Seconded. I would NEVER reccomend a rubik's 4x4 (and ESPECIALLY a 5x5) to people, simply because it's not good for your hands. You shouldn't have to strain to turn pieces...this is bad./
Yes, there is a reason to be getting a DIY that you can grow with.
