No, I'm like 21. Not that much of a difference, but I'm pretty sure neither I nor you were around when people used rubik's cubes for their first year of cubing. Maybe @MarcelP was from that time (kinda kidding Marcel hahaha)

Dude I have been cubing since 2008. The cubes were awful in comparison to now.

Haha you young people... when I started cubing there were no other cubes besides the Rubik's Cube.
... Fortunately I wasn't trying to be fast then.

I have used original Rubiks for years. But then I had no method, and did not cube for speed. I am so glad these days there are better cubes. Otherwise I probably would not have been in this hobby.

People who are too lazy to research about speedcubing before they start. My first cube was a f II, and I never had a Rubik's brand cube

Not necessarily true. I had a Rubik's brand for a little over a year before moving onto an F-II. By that time, I had researched lubricating my Rubik's brand, how to modify it to make it better, and the Petrus method. At that point, my Rubik's brand had some corner-cutting ability, required little-to-no force to turn (comparable to F-II), and I was getting good with the Petrus method.
tl;dr - just because you use a Rubik's brand, doesn't mean you haven't done much research.

most people don't pick up a cube with the intention to speedcube, you do realize this, right?
Many just find a Rubiks or storebought lying around and want to solve it, and later on, discover speedcubing.

It means for me, anyone who reads just a little before start speedcubing knows that a Rubik's brand is bad. It doesn't corner cuts, the tensions are not adjustable and requires modding just to be considered a bad cube lol. Also, a Rubik's brand is rather expensive compared to better brands

I Average about 16-17 with my Zhanchi and about 18 with my Rubiks brand.

And what would you say to a 14 year old with little money and parents who refuse to order things online? When you only have one option, you go for said option. Besides, I got my original cube as a gift.

Haven't been active in the cubing community for the past few months but I've seen quite a lot new brands on the market lately so I decided to give a shot to this cube. Thought about getting the Fanshi over the MoYu but I got a good deal from Wallbuys. Also, decided to go with the white body over the black body cube just because it looks nicer and besides that, Florian's review convinced me to buy it.
Can't wait to see how this cube will performs since there's a lot of sweet words about it. Might do an unboxing video on it as I haven't upload nothing for months now.

My MoYo HuanYing is better than my Rubik's brand. Ha.
Seriously though, I'm not sure how I like this compared to the Zhanchi. It's loud, very loud, and it seems to lock up a lot. I've only had it for two days though, so we'll see.

I actually started with a cheap cube with caps on the corners and edges lol. It turned great.
Yeah Im not sure either...I actually think it might be better than a Zhanchi, but the feeling is not there
If it was the same plastic, and the pieces had the same weight as the Zhanchi pieces, I bet it would kick ass

So... if it was a Zhanchi, then it would be a Zhanchi?
