GuHong worth getting? Pros, cons. Troubles?

[TK 421]

What do you think about the GuHong, I want to buy one.

As for the original post, it is one of the heavier cubes compared to FII and A5. It also doesn't respond well to corner cutting abuse (from what I've heard). However, it is certainly a great cube. I find it makes a very good one hand cube.

Pros - It cuts corners.

TBH that's all I found good with it. I don't like how it feels etc.

Cons - Its a pain to assemble.

It's my favorite cube. It's amazing corner cutting lets you do moves that you can't really do on a lot of other cubes. M slices are AWESOME on it.
Whenever I use other cubes now, I'm constantly locking up or over/under-turning.

IMO that's king of a con...

I like it. But I love ridiculously fast cubes, because apparently all my cubes are really loose. Watch out though, because it can screw up your turning style once you become dependent on the reverse corner cutting and such.

I don't like assembling cubes. Is that so hard to understand? I don't even like setting tension. That's how lazy I am.

I hate anime references. How is that even relevant to the topic? I made my points that I thought were the pros and cons of the GuHong.

Seriously because 3 guys like anime, it become the hit of our forum? Frankly, I'm sick of seeing anime on SPEEDSOLVING FORUM.

I love my new guhong. I dont know about all of them but my one from lightake came preassembled with perfect tension.

After lubing it became A-W-E-S-O-M-E

It did take a little getting used to the speed but its already my main speedcube and its been about a day and a half since I got it. My pll's are much faster on it but I do need to concentrate on lookahead so thats its only real advantage apart from me likey likey the feely

Which I had no idea what you were talking about until I saw this post...

Pheonix Death, sorry, but you're doing it wrong. This picture would have done better because only people who have seen the show would know what you were talking about. Still, the reference was a bit uncalled for, but then again, I'm not much of a K-On! Fan...

 

[waffle=ijm]

ok let me rephrase. I hate incorrectly used anime references.

in other news, guhong also feels "gummy" I don't know if you'd like that.
