My GuHong now cuts 50 degs with ease

[Nestor]

I stopped using my GuHong... now I cube like a freaking Neanderthal and pop my AV every other solve.

Until proven otherwise, your cube actually cuts 35. Considering most people who claim 40 are exaggerating, I don't know why you'd bother posting about getting 50 without already having a video.

Cough cough. If anything I was under estimating so I wouldn't look too stupid.

Okay, now you REALLY have to post a video. Not a single person here believes you.

Seriously, I don't hate you or anything, but you have to understand how outrageous what you're claiming is. I'll be the first person to man up and say I was wrong if you post a legit video.

I have posted the video

I change the initial post to include it.

I like how your right hand index finger is on the UBR corner when you do R'.

You guys do realise that my GuHong cuts 360 degrees?

No offense, but Morton's GuHong is WAY better than yours. It can cut 360.

But on a serious note, My GuHong only cuts half a piece, which is fine. You don't need 50 degree cutting. You need a better turning style.

Dude, your finger is on UBR when you go past 45 degrees. It looked like you were getting around 40 or 45 cleanly, which is definitely good, but all the 45+ cuts either locked a bit or you had your finger on the top layer. My A-V can cut, like, 80 degrees if that's allowed, lol

Unfortunately we are not discussing about how much is actually needed.

In Soviet Russia, corners cut you

Exactly. I specifically mentioned a few pages back, suspecting he would do this.
Only hold the bottom 2 layers, or else it isn't really corner cutting. If you want, make another video, and keep your fingers away from the top layer.

OMFG you cynical expletives

Special effects this time maybe?
I was trying to point out how good the lube was not how much everyone needs a GuHong or 50 deg cutting.

I'm sorry but I don't think anyone was being cynical.

When people were telling you not to put your finger on the U layer I doubt they were thinking "he's consciously making an effort to fake this." If anything I would have used the ideomotor effect to explain it ("he is using his finger to make it easier but he doesn't realize.").

Your video is convincing evidence, so I believe that your cube can cut >45 degrees.

However I disagree with the premise that a higher maximum cut means easier lower cuts. A cube that can cut 35 degrees and a cube that can cut 25 degrees with have no significantly noticeable difference when cutting at 5 or 10 degrees. If anything I would find a higher maximum cut detrimental because it probably means the cube is too loose and would pop a lot.

Where would the threshold between normal corner cutting and reverse corner cutting lie? That's the only thing that interests me about this.

I have a question for you though: are the corners on the GuHong wider than the edges?

 

[~Adam~]

The cubies are all the same size. It's just the insides that are unlike any other 3x3x3 (that I know of). V-cube style corners with a comparatively small inner circumference.
All the cuts <40 degs are almost completely effortless, and rarely pops (but I've never really got that many pops from any cube) but as I said in my previous post with this thread I was trying to find out about the lube and weather it will destroy my cubes in the long run. So far I have failed to get any information about this at all.

Maru lube is beast with it.

 

[~Adam~]

I will try it. It comes with the boxed 4x4x4 right?

I think the real point of these threads/videos is to have fun. I mean seriously, 50 degrees is pure AWESOME.

when I say "smaller angles" it's not 5 or 10 degrees; we're talking about taking shortcuts by 20~30 degrees. And I disagree to you saying that a cube that have large corner-cutting angles would pop a lot. It depends on your fine-tuning skills. My type C could easily cut 1 piece and it pretty much never pops. A lot of people could testify how brutal my turning style was and how my cubes are all set right at the sweet spot.

Yeah, I'm severely dyslexic. It takes me ages to post because I have to google so many words.
However just googled cynical "having a sneering disbelief in".
I think the word fits the situation.

 

[aronpm]

Nobody was 'sneering' from what I read.

 

[~Adam~]

Pics or it didn't happen.

That's not sneering?
