guhong/lunhui/zhanchi/lingyun V2
will lube with lubix in the store

 

[daniel0731ex]

LunHuei is great. Whoever said that it's horrible just sucks at lubing and tensioning.

is lingyun v1 the same as lingyun v2 except torpedos?

Izovire said the lingyun v2 is a modded version of the lingyun v1.

There are some small modifications done, but for the most part, is it just a Lingyun v1 with torpedoes.

Is it legal to use a modded cube in competitions

Yes. Obviously it is legal in competitions.

Lingyun 2 or Zhanchi? How do they compare to each other?
Anyone have a review for the Lingyun 2?

(I don't have a Lingyun 1 either, in case that changes anything)

 

[nupityS]

damm you dont answer to my question...
guhong, lunhui or zhanchi?

It's almost impossible to answer cause they're all great cubes. I'd rule out the LunHui cause I think it's too heavy. But if you just pick one of the other ones I'm sure you'll totally love it.

which magic is the best?
(im getting a LA one in november)

 

[Riley]

I'm about to get a Clock, and I've never used one before... What makes each clock different from eachother? And do you think that the LingAo Clock is good? If not, what is better? Thanks.

I prefer the LA over the others

Lingyun 2 or Zhanchi?
Anyone have a review for the Lingyun 2?

I will give a review of the Lingyun 2 (not lubed, didn't change tensions) right now.

Speed: Fast. It took me a day to get used to it.
Overshooting: Once you get used to it, it really doesn't overshoot.
Cornercutting: very good. About 45 degrees, but you really don't need to use it once you get faster of course.
Reverse cornercutting: half a piece.
Pops: very resistant to pops. Really stable, it has torpedoes of course.
Feel: crispy.

Overall, it is a great cube out of the box. It's so awesome, I didn't need to lube it or tension it! Of course, you could lube and tension if you want to. Speedcubeshop has the cheapest Lingyun 2.

Thanks. Can you tell me how it compares to a Zhanchi directly? I don't own one...

Also, how is the M-slice? :3
Is it locky when you doing some MU'ing?
(I'm asking because I solve Roux, of course)

I don't think it did.

M slice is fine.

M slice is fine.

Thanks for the details. I'll probably get one.
