Thanks to GAN for sending me some of their cubes to try!

It's a controllable cube that finds the right mix between fast and sluggish, so it suits my turning style well. This average is actually my PB. As with the Valk3, though, I have some problems with the corner cutting: I would like it to cut with a bit less effort than it does right now. I am still experimenting with the cube, and I'm in contact with Gan, who is giving me tips, so I do have high hopes for it. At the moment, I have the original, clear springs in it with which the cube comes. I did briefly try the yellow ones, which are meant to be softer, but somehow I prefer the original ones. I put some thick lube into the cube about half an hour before the average and that helped. All in all, I think this is one with 'main potential'.

Gans has been making some pretty impressive cubes - I just got my hands on the 356v2 after looking for a new main and I'm amazed by both the design and the quality.

Nice video, I enjoyed it. Back in the day, most videos sub-WR would get so much attention. But with the burst of video and other media online, a 6.47 average of 5 gets hardly recognized, haha.
