Just got this cube and I immediately did avg of 100, I've never done so many solves in a row with 444 or bigger cubes.
Around after 30 solves it started to feel smoother, but of course it still needs some work. I've never really practiced 4x4x4, mainly because there was no good cube for my hands. Even the YJ was pretty dissapointing after modding and everything.
But this is different in many ways. This feels kinda like a flawless Rubik's 4x4x4.
The way Rubik's 4x4x4 should feel
I got a PB single with my 15th solve (1.02.38), and I broke my avg12 twice in this avg100. Now it's 1.13.93, old one was about 2 seconds slower.
World records shall be broken with this cube![]()
Where did you order? Is the ordering page in english? They accept paypal? etc etc ...
Per
I orderd mine from http://www.hknowstore.com/ yes paypal, ordered last week got mine today.
I would say the same as Konsta, it does feel like a Rubik's 4x4, Ive only done 18 solves so far, and I have to get used to it and it has to be more broken in. But I have gotten low 1 min and sub-1:10 (good for me at the moment)
You will have to break it in. and the outer layers are not like the YJ more like a Rubik's.

After few days of practice, stickers seems to be pretty good quality.
But it's still too early to say will they stay or not.
I like the stickers very much so far.

The sticker is oracal, I'd say it is like more cubesmith one with rubik's colour.

I don't know what 'oracal' means, but their material is pretty similar to cubesmith stickers. Maybe little bit harder, but they crumble the same way.

Oracle is the brand of the material that Cubesmith uses for their stickers.
