Congrats @Shaky Hands. Welcome to BLDers anonymous

 

[MarcelP]

Are you really using the FangYuan as your new main? I hadn't even heard about the cube until I saw your post. Has corner cutting improved with breaking in? Have you lubed it? I am tempted to buy one

Yeah..
Here some solves of this evening. I cut out the best Ao5 out of this Ao12 18.27

After lubing and tensioning it and doing approx 300 solves it became even better . Just awesome

Nice times. I must buy it than. I need stable cube because my Thundrclap is very broken in and needs replacement.

Well done @Shaky Hands

Time for an official success now.

Here's a video I did of the Oregon comp. Hope you enjoy. (Also hope to see Dave from Youtube coming to join us soon!)

Well, for a $7 cube incl shipping you can't go wrong Still The Valk3 is better. It is smoother and cuts more. But I can not get sub 19 averages, where as I can easily with the FangYuan. I think many people will like the FangYuan. It is a mix of TangLong with Gan 356. Being stable is the best factor used from TangLong and being ridiculous forgiving used from Gan 356.

Good video. The one solving while standing is old? He is fast.

 

[Shaky Hands]

@Jason Green - cool video. Lots of fast people there.

Yeah that's @jfly from the WCA software team. You see why he wants age based stats, he's probably first.

Awesome video Jason! It was great meeting you and I'm glad you got so much great footage. I see myself finishing a 3x3 solve and an OH solve. Happen to have any more footage of my solves?

Some I think. I shared the footage on my Google drive for @Chree. Can you message me your email and I'll add you to the share?

 

[Selkie]

@Jason Green - Awesome video mate, really enjoyed that

 

[Jason Green]

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone. They are fun to put together! I worried about this I've getting long, but wanted to show lots of the cubers.

I've got some of those, I think.

Edit: Yup, 2 OH solves and a 2x2 reaction.

Must be all the COLL you know @Logiqx

2x2 PB: 6.884 Mo100 (was 7.326 from 31-jul)

I said I was not going to buy new cubes, but I had to, my Dayan 2x2 was not fun to solve and I was not improving so I bought the KungFu YueHun (because it was cheaper than the Weipo and I had to buy a stickerless and a black one), it has some issues but it's an improvement.

Nice! What are those issues? In my case the cube was a bit too fast, other than that it was just perfect, maybe even better than the Weipo. I just need to take the time to lube it and try to slow it down a bit.

 

[muchacho]

It was a bit loose and a couple of times it locked (one side not moving) due to one of the three locking edges getting misplaced (or whatever), I tighten it up like 90 degrees and issue solved, but it's not so fast now. Also 3-4 times (out of 200 solves) one of the pieces (not the whole corner) popped out.
