If you already have the valk I wouldn't recommend getting the valk elite. And no, it doesn't have the valk hollow feeling.

Thank you for the information

I've been looking into getting a new 2by2 since i need an upgrade from my current one, i average around 7-8 seconds and would like to know your suggestions.

 

[BenChristman1]

There are a lot of great 2x2s, so it just comes down to personal preference. 2x2 starts at 0:10.

 

[crazycuber36]

oh i saw that vid, anyway whats your main?

I love the Tengyun. the Valk corner twists heaps

 

[Deleted member 52530]

I main mgc. Though it is too light. I might try the call and tengyun at comp when they happen
I just really want s heavier 2x2

 

[PetrusQuber]

Tengyun, MGC and Valk I think are the best.

I agree with the light thing. I hope they make a v2 that's heavier, or I might glue in extra magnets to make it heavier.

My main is Gan 249 v2

The best on the market right now are probably the Tengun, Valk, and MGC. However, at your speed you can go with any of them and be fine. Even the best 2x2ers barely slow down when they use another decent 2x2. Look up some reviews on YouTube for each of them and decide which one you think sounds best, taking price into consideration as well. Also, make sure that you're looking at recent content, if you look at reviews from a few years ago then you might not get the latest info

Mine is the Valk.

Not if you don't loosen it a bunch. I just loosened it a little bit and put in some Celeritas and Mystic, and I love it.

as a good budget cube, I would go with the yj yupo m 2x2. It is great with a little bit of setup.

To be fair, even the most expensive 2x2s are barely more expensive then budget ones

i got mine from the cubicle for 4USD. They might have had a discount on it though.

 

[Gian2020apocalypsis]

I want to buy a 3x3, and I have enough budget, but I don't know which line (mystic, angstrom, max, celeritas) is better. I like controlable cubes. What do you recommend?

 

[ProStar]

Budget? Also know that you don't need the best cube. A good budget cube is just fine, and way less expensive. What do you average?

I'm sub 14. I have around $70.

What's you're current cube? As long as it's a decent cube, you don't need one and there's probably no point in buying one unless you don't like the feel of your current one

I have a Valk 3 power M. I have try all tension and it don't convences me. I like the stability of this cube but I don't like the spinning sensation.

 

[sumtingwong]

valk power m is my main over the valk elite, I recommend trying to tension it again because this cube is very picky with tensions. As for getting a premium cube, I feel if you have the confidence to set cubes up yourself, buy the lubes themselves and then buy the cubes from a cheaper store like cubezz. Which cube specifically depends on what you like, I personally think you cannot go wrong with the moyu wr m. I don't recommend gan since if you want only one cube, the gan cubes are not good for one hand solving.
