Does speedcubing damage your hands??

If you've had a 12.11 second solve, then you have a broken in cube. Most of us aren't doctors, so you shouldn't even consider an answer for a medical question from us. If you're really worried, ask a doctor.

I thougth it was more like footbal. You don't need a doctor to know how to strecth your legs, you don't need a doctor to discover if the sport are damaging you. But I guess speedcubing is more unfamous (but much more fun).

Yes, speedcubing can hurt your wrists. It's done a number of mine over time, but taking a break works wonders. Also, a poorly lubricated cube causes the damage to happen much more quickly because you're applying more pressure and strain.

So, make sure the cube turns very smoothly, and take breaks often.

Since you said MOST, then I really could consider an anwser from some of you.
The second reason is if I asked a doctor it would be much more expensive, and it wouldn't hurt me if I tried to ask here.

only my left hand hurts sometimes because i hold the cube with that hand and sometimes it gets stuck = (

i dont really have wristproblems, and dont ask me why but the powerball really works for me when I'm having pain in my fingers

I am not going to ask why (although I would love to hear why...), but just got to know if it helps. You answered me now, and thats what the thread was about. I think I am going to buy one soon...

I don't think cubings as bad as drumming.

You move your fingers more in speedcubing.

I've only been hurt one time and it wasn't really even really being "hurt" it was more like when i pressed pressure onto my finger it kind of was irritating. This was only after i had cubed for around 6 hours straight though so unless you go for a extensive amount of time, there should be no problems. Not to mention, this was when i first got my cube so i hadn't lubricated it yet.
