avg 23s, need to change cube?

[choza244]

Hi, like the title say, i'm averaging around 23 seconds, my main cube is a Taiyan II, but lately is locking a lot when turning fast, i have read a lot of comments saying that if you are too fast a better cube would not improve your times, but i'm still not that fast, si i'm thinking about ordering a Guhong, what do you guys think, it will improve my times??

Thanks in advance

Its up to you mate.

I was using FII, and switched to GuHong. After a couple of days getting used to the new cube, I was maybe a 0.1sec quicker.

I'd say mostly its the cuber, not the cube - (with the exception of really bad cubes). But if you wanna try it by all means do, you never know, it might work.

This is a decision you need to make yourself :fp

So, I'm thinking about ordering a Guhong.

Fine with me. It is a Taiyan/Dayan Version 3, so it must be better than the version 2.

Not always.
some people prefer type A-II over the A-5
But...
because a-5 is the Fifth model, IT HAS TO BE BETTER, RIGHTTT?

Try going to Type C for a little while (1-2 weeks?) to improve accuracy. Then switch back

at 23 seconds, it's you

Thanks for all the answers, i was going to order a Guhong, but today i see that there is a new Dayan cube, LOL, i'll wait to see which one is better

im averaging aprox 30s atm on a "professional speed solving cube"

when i get my FII and AV ill tell you how much i improve by

I average 22 seconds, and the only difference in my times was made when I switched from a Storebought to a Diansheng. I use a Maru now, but I get the same times between the two.

I got one of those in England, it is just a Ghosthand probably, post pictures of mechanism.

this link shows you EXACTLY what i have. if you do think its a ghost hand please post ....

it says pretty bad on that link however i think its pretty good... however i dont have a DIY yet xD
a little more info. you can get to the screws but they dont tighten up for some reason it seems to just be touching the other screw on the other side when you screw more. it cuts corners about 1/2 the way across the center cube however doesnt backwards cut AT ALL. locks up a huge amount too which sucks however i think the turning is quite fast and smooth.. but maybe my mind will change when i get the FII and AV
