I sometimes have problems with my fingernails catching on stickered cubes.

It's because I kind of curl my finger in when I fingertrick.

I want a sturdy cube that doesn't pop and also cuts corners really well. My friend bought a YJ YuLong(that's what he said, and that's what it looked like) online. It was good and smooth overall, but popped quite a lot of times when we tried to cut corners at nearly 20 degrees. Also it felt kinda weak on the Inside. was it just on his cube, or is the YJ like this????

No you can't not even for bld/mbld. Read the rules/regulations and watch some recent official mbld vids and no cubes are stickerless

Nvm sorry. I remember watching videos. And hearing people say they are legal only for bld and mbld and have seen bld splvers using stickerless cubes. Then I realized that all of these cids were before 2012 when they banned them.

Idk about yulongs, but if you are looking for a sturdy cube that feels solid and doesnt pop get the weilong. I have solved it thousands of times and it has popped only once when I tried to go for like 7tps on a easy scramble with really loose tensions. Most people prefer the aolong, but it feels unstable and floppy, and pops and corner twists more than the weilong. So get a weilong. V2

So is the Guan long better than the Zhan Chi???
yes, it is generally faster but for you can get it for $2, but it is really down to what you prefer try them both out or possibly the aolong ($6.85 at cubezz.com), which is probably better

Thanks guys. One final question- Should I Go for the Zhanchi or weilong. And should I lube my weilong with Maru Lube??

I just ordered a Weiling, but I have a Zhanchi in my cart to get next. I keep one cube in my bag, one on my desk, one at work, and will take them plus a couple when I substitute teach if a kid needs something to do. Both might not be an option now, but I would suggest at some point to have one of each. They are both good... from what I heard.
