hello from Canada

[timeless]

ive been cubing for a year but i quit for awhile but now im back. besides cubing, i also spin pens.

i can sub 1.5min with pogo's method with my lubbed storebought but im planning to get a better cube at the compete. any suggestions?

also, ppl told me pogo's method sucks and recommended me to learn badmephisto's beginner's method.

Practice until sub 1. Then get an Alpha V, GuHong, or F-II.

Or get a better cube straight away. Storebought cubes can be stiff to a point that prolonged use can hurt your hands even if you lubricate the cube. When I started, I practiced on my storebought. After a few days my thumbs started hurting even when I wasn't cubing. Since then I've purchased cubes that are much easier to turn and the pain hasn't gotten any worse but it's still there. I wish I had a less strenuous cube from the start...

I own a lot of 3x3x3s but my LingYuns require the least effort to turn and stress my hands the least.

At that point you dont need a fast cube because you wil turn fast and you will no improving your look ahead...

Not sure you got what I meant.
You may not need a "fast" cube but anything that puts less pressure on your joints and tendons is a good thing. Especially for people that cube hours on end. IMO.

Hi, you're "exclusive" from UPSB, aren't you?

Wellcome to the forum!

Be warned though, some people on this forum are not as logical as those on UPSB; please don't feel offended, they usually don't mean any harm.

There is nothing wrong with it if the post means something.

I am beginning to find you annoying now, with you refusing to listen to advices on UPSB, and now trying to pick a quarrel here.
