Cheapest Decent Cube for Beginners

[miniGOINGS]

miniCs are consistant, fast, well stickered, well tensioned, and will never be to big for girls' hands (unlike a lot of my other cubes).

no dont get ghosthand from popbuying at all! it is a good cube but color recog is absolutely horrible. i have truble recognizing yellow and white. the best cube would be a diansheng or a mini c. its small but colors are awesome and the cube turns beuatifully from popbuying

Mini-C!!

I am probably going to get flamed for this but, how about dollar store cubes?

Out of the 20 people, most of them will probably not become serious cubers. Some of them might keep their dollar store cubes and occasionally demonstrate that they can solve using the beginners method in 5min when a friend comes over.

Dollar store cubes that are crappy, force slow turning which then forces look-ahead which is important to learn when being an absolute beginner.

Of course, any of the students that then decide to become serious cubers will buy a good cube in the future. For people over 5min solving, they don't need anything fancy.

What! Most cubes aren't too big for my hands. And are you trying to say that girls have small hands? I think my hands are an average size.

have you actually troed a REAL bad 1$cube? they locksup out of nowhere and cant even reverse a move. if they uses it too long it will most like cause finger (or wrist) damages.

C4Y brand is really good for beginners. You can get it assembled & pre-lubed & they work great.

I agree with the C4Y brand being good, but I don't think it is a good cube for beginners. First, it's sort of expense (compared to the Ghosthand, mini diansheng, mini type c), and it would take a lot of time to assemble and lube altogether. But that's just my opinion.

They come preassebled & lubed.

So do miniC and GH

 

[Cyrus C.]

Get some C4Y's & give them to people who seem really into it at the end of the teaching session.

C4Y cubes aren't as good as mini C cubes.

It's not small..it's just fun sized .

Unlike the mini DS, they're not TOO mini.

Rather well proportioned in my opinion.

If you want to give them a good cube as a parting gift then why the heck would you give them a cube4you
