Any Fast cubers still use the Rubik's Brand 3x3

[cubeslayer]

Hey guys/gals

I notice that many cubers speak about the various different types of cubes out there and have their own predilections.

I myself fancy the store bought Rubik's brand that is lubricated with a generic silicone spray.

So does anyone out there also have this infatuation with the store bought Rubik's brand, or am I alone out there ?:confused:

Well I could use my store brand and still average around my 27 second average margin. How ever I have modded my cube and also used vasiline to degrade the plastic inside the cube to make it cut at a 45 degree turn

I do but i dont think im cosidered fast with a low 30a avg

but i moddded it alot to get it the speed it is now

I don't think anyone who has used a good DIY will ever want to go back to Rubiks. The only reason you'd be using it is because you really just don't know what you're missing.

You'll be a bunch slower, and even if the amount of time is not THAT significant, it'll still feel a lot more uncomfortable to solve with.
That is of course assuming that it's just a storebought with lube, no mods etc

Wasn't Pat Kelly using a storebought at UK Natonals?

I really miss my old Rubik's DIY, I feel that it turns quite stable, compared to A5 and Guhong.
But it is personal preference after all.

I can sub 20 with my storebought, I average 19 seconds with a guhong

 

[Florian]

i've an record average of 11.81 with guhong and 14.83 with Rubiks

I used a Rubik's brand untill I was 30 seconds, but I switched to a guhong and now I'm almost sub-20

 

[Cube321]

I average 30 seconds. (Not sub.. like.. 31.) I use Rubiks brand, but i just ordered some better cubes, they're on their way.

 

[Blablabla]

I'm not "fast", but I actually like my rubik's, it's my bus cube (doesn't matter if I lose it and doesn't pop), I can do decent times with it.

Op: i'm decent with my rubik's but solving with an Ultimate is much more enjoyable.

I believe Yu Nakajima used to use Rubik's brand cubes exclusively although I'm not sure if it was storebough of DIY. Probably the latter.

Zhaohan Xiong used a storebought until he was sub-20, then he got an F-II or A-III Something like that. He is now almost sub 10
