Main cube progression

[Kirjava]

I've been told that it's not good for a beginner to go head long into a amazing cube it would hurt the cuber in the long run.

No idea why people keep saying this, ignore them.

Rubik's Storebought -> F1 -> F2 -> Guhong

 

[asportking]

Storebought -> Ghosthand I -> Guhong -> JSK clone (for some crazy reason, I thought this was better than my guhong) -> Zhanchi

 

[Ezy Ryder]

1-3.:Storebought.
4.:Ga-To.
5.:Rubik's Studio.
6.:F2.
7.:LingYun.
8.:A5.
9.:Lubix Guhong.
10(?).:Zhanchi.
Now I wonder, Zhanchi or Guhong...

 

[Goosly]

Rubik's Brand -> Guhong -> ZhanChi (which is so much better than my Guhong)

 

[MrSpike]

My progression has been.
Rubik's Storebought > Ghosthand G1 > Dayan Guhong > Dayan Zhanchi.
I have to say going through 4 cubes in the space of... about 2 months is probably not too good. but considering I've gone from a 2 minute solver to a sub 45 solver in two months I'd say it goes hand in hand.
Reccomend all the cubes up there, even the rubik's storebought (for beginners) because you need to pace yourself properly. E.g. You drive a mini or a small car before stepping into a ferrari.

... you need to pace yourself properly. E.g. You drive a mini or a small car before stepping into a ferrari.

If you go from a small car straight to a Ferrari there is a chance you could die. If you go from a storebought to a Dayan there's a chance you could accidentally turn the wrong face... since you'll still be alive it will be easy enough to learn how to change your cube grip.

Storebought (1 week) 2:30
Rubik's DIY (1 day) 1:15
F2 (1.5 months) 50s
AV (1.5 months) 40s
Guhong (6 months) 28s
ZhanChi (1 week+) 25s

I started off with 4 different storeboughts. ( I thought that everytime the stickers wore off, you had to buy another cube)
When I got to around 45 sec, I got an Edison.
Slowy built up cube collection (type A, type C, type D, type F, etc)
once I got to around 30 sec, I was using an F1 and 2.
Still bought more cubes....
Switched between F2 and A5 for a while
then Gu Hong and Ling Yun when I got to around 22
Now I switch between my A5, Gu Hong, Lin Hui, MF8 legend, A5f, A4f, A2, and Ling Yun, and can't make up my freaking mind.
Now I avg 15.
