Yes mine twists, but not as often as 3x3s with that problem. It's the only 4x4 I've ever known to corner twist.

I'm now officially registered for the World championships! Should be able to get a PB with all that time to practice on the plane.

Ok, I wished mine is defective, but I guess it is not. I have improved my 3x3 times lately, have regular sub 25 Ao12, and somehow now it is easier to solve. The avg improvement in last 2 months was about 7 seconds , just have to prove that at our national comp this weekend. Unfortunately it isnt WCA official, have to wait for Slovenia open in may.
Now I want to improve my 4x4. Can yo tell me time splits for 1:20-1:30 solution? I usually need 1 minute to reach 3x3 cross stage ( yau solver).

I thought you might have changed your mind as your name wasn't there at first when I was checking on the Oldies.

Once in several hundred solves. I guess it's a side effect of such great performance during 3x3 stage.

I seem to experience corner twists quite often on the WuQue. Although I have loosened the tensions as I have put magnets into it. But they do seem to occur often.
Odd, magnets really reduce corner twists in my Valk 3, I wonder why you are twisting that much?

Dayan Zhanchi. Definitely doesn't suffer from hollow corner issues. Cheap as chips. Capable of being solved in under 6 seconds (former WR cube). Available in stickerless. Feels great, especially if you florian mod it a little.
Oooh, even better - get a Guhong V2 and florian it to hell. There used to be a video about modding Guhongs on the Lubix website (in about 2012)!!!

Seriously though, kidding/not kidding?!

He he he. I already have not one but two Dayan Zhanchi stickerless and, to be honest, I'm no Feliks to solve it in under 6 seconds. Looking for something a bit more recent. [emoji23]

I think on wuque the twist is different and doesn't occure by the same reason like with aolong v2 or thunderclap. I've got the twists from being inaccurate by speeding, but on Wuque you get twist suddenly by no obvious reason. I guess the cube gets into the position to twist a corner randomly, but not often, like you said about every 100 solves. It also depends how much you tighten it.

I have noticed myself doing it, in that I've felt when I've done a corner twist. The problem is that I'm usually turning quite fast because I can with the magnets so I lose track of which corner it is, so have to wait until the end of the solve to sort it out. I tightened the tension up to not have corner twists, but I just don't like it as it become to sluggish. So I've loosened them again. I'll live with the corner twists, much like I did with the Aolong

I think corner twists are often a case of adjusting to a different cube. I had a Thunderclap v1 that I gave up on after about 100 solves due to lots of twists but the same cube ended up being my main for the better part of a year. I also had the same experience with the Galaxy megaminx, but have adjusted my turning style to deal with it.
As for the Wuque, yes I get the occasional twist, but it pops less for me than the Aosu or the G4 so I'm happy to deal with the occasional Wuque corner twist compared to my experience with those alternatives.

I've never had a corner twist on my wuque, but I'm 4x4ing less and less. Didn't touch it in a month, and had a HORRIBLE Ao12. For some reason I seem to be able to neglect 3x3 with impunity, but 4x4 and 5x5 I have to do maintenance practice or I quickly start to suck!!
In other news, 3x3 Ao5 PB just went from 15.23 to 14.97. Was so excited I immediately started writing this post, then realised there was an 18.xy (non-counting), so did one more solve (15.83), which took the rolling Ao5 down to 14.905!

I'm sitting close to double your times. Averages are coming down and the "wall" on my best solves has come down from high 20s to mid 20s. By my calculations I'm due to land a 17-18 outlier single at any time. That suggests to me there's a high 9 or 10.x outlier in your near future.

I've found that I seem to be popping the WuQue more than I'd like to. Probably around ever 20 solves or so, sometimes a little less. The Yuxin Blue on the other hand has yet to experience a pop, but I'm still using the WuQue as my main.

I wont be on World Championships, Mark (@mark49152). I was hoping it would be in Poland (I know it was close to it) but it didnt happen. Sadly.
