Help with tutorial: Top cubers for each cube type

[Rama]

I know at one point, Rama posted a video of him solving with one of Erik's Type B/Rubik's DIY core cubes.

Yeah, I didn't brought any cube with me at the Benelux Open 2009, so I just borrowed Erik's cube.

I still use Rubik's DIY, at the German Open I used the one I bought from Stefan at Benelux Open 2009 (I still don't have the time to break it in though).

Ps. I did WR on Rubik's DIY alright.

I use this cube: http://www.cube4you.com/423_New-Black-3x3x3-Speed-Cube.html
and i average 12

What's that a type C... with weird screws and washers? The center pieces have 4 ridges leading me to think its some sort of type C. I could be wrong.

I do all my OH including my NaR average with a green type A that I got almost 2 years ago.

That cube is commonly referred to as the JSK ( [Rubik's] Japanese Speedcubing Kit) Clone; it's not the Type C.

Stefan is trying to make a point that different top cubers like different cubes best. I think his list remains woefully short to sufficiently make that point, thus a bump is in order.

Rowe used a storebought for his 11.70 avg at Cumberland Valley.

We need Harris to come on and make a list of all the cubes he has achieved a sub-11 average with, I think the list is quite long. Just reading the video descriptions from his youtube he has used:

D center with Rubik's DIY pieces
Rubik's DIY centers with Old type A pieces
DianSheng (solving and for time attack)
Joy cube (speed and OH)
Rubik's DIY centers (2006) and store cubies.
Old Type A
Type A with store corners
JSK
Type D
... more probably

Too lazy to go through the rest but you get the idea. I don't think all of these were his favorite, but he was able to get fast enough times with them to be worth posting on youtube.

No love for store bought cubes? I know Dan Dzoan (former WR, OH single) uses them.
