Good OH Cubes?

[CoasterKingII]

I'm having trouble finding a good OH cube. I have small hands. The normal 57mm is a little too big. I also don't want to use the zhanchi because it's too fast for OH. Any ideas? here is an OH avg I recorded:

Notice there is a lot of realigning.

Couldn't you tighten a 50mm zhanchi?
Alternatively, an MF8 Legend. It has no corner cutting, but it's small, and controlled.

Funny.

The MF8 Legend is one of the hardest cubes to control in my experience.

I would use a 55 mm zhanchi with lubicle gummy from thecubicle.us

me too

 

[cubecraze1]

me too

I third that.

It is controlled, not necessarily controllable.

I'm quite fond of it.

As for the cube, I think a slightly gummy Linyung is the best. I might not be the best OH but it's controlled but fast, small, and smooth.

Phil Yu said 55mm Zhanchi is amazing for OH
Weston just said it

therefore i BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!\\

and yeah if it's too fast then gummy lube will help you control it

I'll say it again: the 55mm ZhanChi is very good for OH in terms of size and build. You can slow it down by tightening it or using a little gummy lube.

I like the 55mm because it's fast (still controllable) and light. I can do many, many solves turning at almost maximum speed without tiring out.

I use mini zhanchi 50mm and i average sub 25 seconds. I recommend 50mm-55mm mini zhanchi.

 

[JianhanC]

55mm Zhanchi is great, but it's a bit uncomfortable for me because of the slightly sharp edges. The old ShengEn cubes are not too bad for OH too.

 

[Hunter]

42-50mm Zhanchi

 

[o2gulo]

I ordered those 50mm zhanchi, I have small hands, and regular sized (57mm) are too big for me. You can try 55 or 50mm zhanchi and if it's too fast maybe add a gummy lube like what they said.

 

[Petro Leum]

yeah, i just used a OH Zhanchi from thecubicle.. i wiped out all the lube however and put only a little bit of diff oil in it. very fast cube, but you shoudl try it out. i also ordered a 50 and 55mm and will see if i like them even better

 

[ducttapecuber]

I heard that AV 's are good for OH since they are 55mm. But thats just what I heard, I suck at OH

 

[porkynator]

If you don't like Zanchi because it's too fast, you might like "old style" cubes like F-II. Also, it's not very expensive (about 5-6$ maybe? I don't remember) so it's definetly worth trying. I use it for both OH (sub20 average) and 2H (sub15 average) and I love it, maybe because I solve the cubes with violence as my main method and my old guhong didn't survive. BTW, the 30.90 3BLD WR was set with an F-II (if I remember correctly).

If the dayan company made mini guhongs, I think that would be perfect
