DaYan GuHong review

[cuberkid10]

Ok, i took the core of my Type C 1.5 and the screws and put that in. The screws with the GuHong were too big for the type C core. The cube is now a BEAUTY! But I've killed my type C.

 

[Feryll]

The core on mine is screwed up! The screw won't fit inside one arm of the core! Idk what todo!!

I have the same problem!!

Probably a production error, as I had the same issue. I just took a razor and cut a hole, sort of, and finally stabbed it through.

I still stand by my opinion that my cube is horribly prone to pops, the speed is way worse than my memory, and the corner cutting leaves a lot to be desired. My memory can actually cut better than my guhong!

I had a hard time on 1/6 holes. Nothing major, I just had to push it harder on that side.

Wow... fail.... Mine wouldnt go in at all. I even cut a larger hole, it didnt work.

 

[Winball]

I ordered 2 guhongs.
one 1 I had to push in the screw really hard,on the other I have not yet to find a way to get it in. :/

i never said it wear outs fast....

gu hong sucks. not anywhere near as good as people said it is.

I can't say it sucks, but it's getting worst (IMO) every time I solve it. WAY to fast for my taste, and I'm starting to prefer my old speedcube over this.

REVIEW UPDATED

You didn't?

I tried this cube today and I agree with Dan. The only good thing is the corner cutting, and I'm not inaccurate.. Also , it seems there have been many issues with them. Not worth getting.

i mean I hate it more and more every time I solve it sorry about that. the cube DOES NOT wear out (at least after 50 solves they don't)

 

[boxit]

so which one is better? A-V ato Guhong? I want to buy one of these cube. I just want cube that doesn't easy to lock. thx everyone

 

[amostay2004]

The guhong doesn't lock up. The weakness is it's unstable ie. easy to overshoot or misalign layers.

I got mine today, and although a piece is missing, I assembled it and lubed it with maru lube.

Its unbelievably quick - a lot quicker than my fII when I got it. I've blitzed all of my PLL PBs with it. The only reason mine has locked up is because I can't handle the speed of the thing.

 

[iChanZer0]

mine became pretty godly after disassembled and lube with jigaloo a lot of light sprays

Lol, I know what you mean ... just got mine today. Reminds me of the Joy cube ... very loose feeling (which I like), only it cuts corners a lot better. Only criticism is that the speed is ruining my lookahead

When I assembled this cube, before stickering it, I thought it was amazing! But after a few solves, I find that it is not really as good as I was hoping.

Even at it's tightest setting, it really overshoots a lot which causes it to lock up quite a bit. Almost like it needs to be dampened.

Doing an U move by flicking it with my index finger, it is very hard to get the layer to stop in an aligned position. When I do this on some other cubes, it almost always stops at exactly a 90deg turn so I can quickly do another move without having to align it again.

Still nothing compared to my Haiyan memory...

That's why the corner cutting and reverse corner cutting is there unless you overshot that much.

 

[endless_akatsuki]

you guys are killing me. I love amazingly fast cubes. now I gotta go spend up my saved money getting one...

 

[Mikey]

Guys I have just found out I guess a "mod" that will hopefully make all the GuHong haters love the GuHong!!!!! All you have to do is switch the GuHong core with a type A1 core. The reason why most people hate the GuHong is because it feels unstable and it overshoots. Well, I was one of those people but when I switched the cores, the GuHong became stable like an A5 and it did not over shoot! It actually slowed down just a bit but it was to fast with the regular core anyway and now its at a perfect speed. Now it is stable. fast but not to fast, does not over shoot and still has the wonderful corner cutting! So if you have an old type A laying around, use its core for the GuHong! Spread this around so everyone can know!!!!!!

I just realised just how much reverse corner cutting the Guhong has.
