Does anyone have a 55mm Fangshi ShiShuang that they can compare this to? I've heard the 55mm ShiShuang is pretty unstable, is this true?
 
Why am I using it as it is fast for me? Personal preference. I still use the Weilong though I am a 22 sec solver, so you shouldnt ask anyone about that. And I said it is too fast for beginners, I am no beginner. I dont do 2x2 that much so I didnt bother learning PBL so I just do Y or T perm on both the layers if a case like that arises, in the end it is all just personal preference, that was just a tip I gave, nothing much. As far as mimicing the cyoubx review style, you also copied that, though you added some useless stuff like "does it live up to its expectation..." and useless stuff which are not required in review. We all know that Feliks and Mats changed to Weilong so it unrequired and Weilong currently has the 3x3 avg and single record. And I like JRCuber reviews and Cyoubs reviews, ofcourse.Now would you say JRCuber mimiced cyoubx as their styles are alike and similar?. Video starts, and he talks only about that cube, straight to the point no extra info like what lube he used etc. Lubes are made to make a cuber better than it was out of the box. Thats why most of his reviews are less that 2:30 min. I showed the mechanism from the side when I talk about it how it is different that the Dayan and also point the LingPo mechanism. Watch 1:07 carefully, that whole segment till I show Dayan cube. I would probably not leave that segment out as I said it resembles a Weilong corner piece and showed it, and as the mechanism is different,thats why it is pop free. Dayan 2x2 popped on me many times. And I also did not show it because I said it is a Pain to reassemble. It took me lot of cursinng etc to assemble this cube after I lubed it and etc. Leaving a whole topic in a review is useless. It is like a body without a soul so I will keep up with it :)
Thanks for the Feedback :)

Lol weilong never had the single record
 
Anyone who uses Lingpo as their main?

I use an out of the box Lingpo and it locks real bad at times and falls off my hands in between solves. The turning is smooth and the speed of the cube is fast, but I feel that something is missing, its not yet near to a brilliant 2x2. Any solutions? Maybe lubricating it will help?
 
The LingPo is my main but the internal catching/locking is definitely an issue. With a lot of breaking in, a bit of Traxxas diff lube and good tensioning, it only happens once every 100 solves or so but it really is aggravating when the cube flies out of my hands because it locked up.

I picked it over the DaYan 2x2 because the turning is so much snappier and the exterior edges aren't overly rounded but there are times when I think about switching back.

There's still no perfect 2x2...
 
My opinion about the Lingpo is that when it has lube it is the beast but without the slightest bit of lube it needs it is really sluggish. But other than that there is really no popping.
 
The cube is decently fast, around the speed of the Aolong V2 or Weilong. The turning feels smooth, however the sound is kinda scratchy. I really enjoy using this cube with headphones. It's better than the Dayan IMO, but it really just comes down to personal preference. I have not had any internal catching, and the cube feels very fluid. The weight is nice, not too light or too heavy. The only problem is that it can't corner cut as well, 45 degrees takes a bit of force, but you never really need that much corner cutting. It is my main, simply due to personal preference. Sorry if this wasn't very coherent, I am in a hurry as I write this.
 
On my opinion the Lingpo is pretty good cube when just opened but when you do many solves on it you almost have to lube it if you dont its just slow and its useless to have. But Overall its a really great 2x2 i recommend it to any 2x2 solver.
