I have the X

Then stick with the X. You will get between -0.05 and 0.05 seconds faster from switching. You don't need another 3x3.

I don't know about you guys but my YLM squan is GARBAGE. I recommend the original Qiyi Squan. I know it has screw stripping issues but unless you use it constantly for months i doubt that it would affect you.

My YLM square 1 lubed with DNM and Silk is so smooth and quiet and effortless

Mine is super stiff and if I loosen the screw it falls apart during a solve.

Maybe some DNM will help?

Looking for a giant cube to add to my collection. Having trouble deciding between a 9x9 and a 10x10. Which one do you recommend? (Price doesn't matter)

For 9x9, it really comes down to whether you care about turning quality or physical size. If smaller size is important, get the Meilong. If turning quality is important, get the Little Magic.

For 10x10, either the Huanglong or Meilong.

I have smallish hands(one hand can wrap around my 63mm 5x5), would the little magic be too big? Also, how much better is the little magic versus the meilong?

The turning is a lot better, IMHO. Others disagree. The problem with the Meilong is you have to loosen it to make the turning remotely decent but it becomes really, really easy to pop once you do that.

That said, if you have smallish hands, the Little Magic will be too big for you. It's a big puzzle.

Thanks, I've decided to go with the mfjs. My only question is what's the difference between the MFJS MF9 and the MFJS MeiLong 9x9?

Meilong is generally their better line of budget cubes. The meilong is probably better than the MF9

Absolutely nothing. Exact same molds.

Do you know why they are listed on different products on the cubicle?

 

[Deleted member 51471]

Probably the packaging. They most likely changed the name since their Meilong line is better than their MF line.

Because they got repackaged and given a new name when the Meilong line was started.

When I said price didn't matter I meant that 10x10s are more expensive but I don't care lol If money wasn't a problem at all I'd buy a 33x33x33 lol

Greg's Channel is selling the original one for 12 000 euros so you technically could !

Hi, what are your recommendations for 5x5? I'm thinking of the valk 5 m, wushuang and mgc
