Here are some cubes you can try: 55mm zhanchi, 54.5 weilong, 54.6 fangshi, 54.5 aolong.

does the 0.5mm between the cubes you mentioned above made a huge difference ?

 

[jman1965]

Get a YJ chilong. Its smooth and controllable, yet fast enough to be usable even when you're sub-15. Once you're sub-15, switch back to the weilong.

thanks!

No they don't. I don't really recommend the 54.5 aolong and the fangshi though, they're kind of flimsy for OH.

For a polish sledge style, my unmodded lanlan locks up a lot. I currently average 12 seconds. Which should I get (and why)

Mod my lanlan
Stock SS
SS w/ lanlan balls+springs
Modded SS
SS w/o balls
Moyu Skewb
Do something to a moyu (specify)

I have a Fangshi right now, and I kinda feel outdated. Should I get an Aolong V2?

 

[Bryan Chia]

No they don't. I don't really recommend the 54.5 aolong and the fangshi though, they're kind of flimsy for OH.

alright man, thanks !
ill consider either 55mm zhanchi or 54.5 weilong

 

[andrewlecubes]

Shengshou has a good Pyraminx.

 

[Scarlet]

Which cube should I get if I like the feel and weight of a fangshi? I want to try out differnt cubes

 

[newtonbase]

Shengshou has a good Pyraminx.

Thanks. I've ordered it.

What 3x3 should I get if I like the feeling of an OOTB Aolong or YJ Fisher Cube?

 

[Datprocuber]

The MoYu 5x5,6x6 are planned, but are probably not close to being released yet.

 

[Datprocuber]

What 3x3 should I get if I like the feeling of an OOTB Aolong or YJ Fisher Cube?

I would say a AoLong V2/AoLong.

Hi,
I have searched the forum but I only found old threads and replies to this question (older that a couple of years).
What would be a good 3x3 for OH? I have relatively big hands but when I try to do PLLs with my current two-handed cubes (YJ Chilong, Moyu Aolong, Weilong etc.) I cannot get a comfortable grip (with my left hand) that allows me to do Us with index and at the same time Rs with my pinky. I end up struggling all the time with the grip.

Would you recommend something a bit smaller, like the mini Weilong? or just a cube in looser tensions and good lube so that it turns effortlessly?

Wanting to hear what you have to say. Thanks!

Sorry for the bump but no answers yet. Anyone? Thanks!

I use a 54.6 ShuangRen v1, but if you prefer smoother cubes go for the mini WeiLong/AoLong

Bumping. I'd prefer if someone who knows a bit about Skewb could reply, because lots of reviews on the moyu Skewb are by people who really don't do Skewb.

The Shengshou Aurora is a good cube for OH if you have big hands. The tension is quite loose and it turns smoothly (at least for me it does).

I don't have one, but a fellow cuber let me try his during AUS Nationals last week.

You could try a Mini Weilong (which is what I have). They're not too bad either!
