Which skewb is the best?

I like my QJ skewb. It has a good mechanism, but its kinda clicky. But some people like that. And the center pieces do pop off. But for the price its pretty decent. I would assume the lanlan one is good too.

black is better. the stickers are slightly better and it does not pop
white is alright. i think it can cut corners slightly better than black one. internal lockups are pretty common if you want to solve the cube like a 2x2.

No one can really tell you what to get as it will be your preferance. I use a zhanchi as my main, I don't like the GuhongV2 as much though. You could buy one and see if you like it or get both and decide which one you want to use as your main. Also what is your main cube now and what you average? It isn't neccessary to wait until you are at 25 seconds before you get a good cube.

I am using a rubiks brand and compared to my shengshou it is a very disappointing puzzle, I sadly only average high 50s and the occasional sub 48
Side note I will probably only be able to get ONE 3x3 not counting my rubiks brand of course, so i want a cube that i will like. I like the feeling of the shengshou v3 with lubix kind of lube if that helps explain the feel i like in cubes, i don't like the gummy wet feeling of a wet cube

Wow, that's cheap. GhostHands aren't top of the line, I can't guarantee that it will be lock/pop free, but a lot of people have said they were pretty happy with GhostHands. And for that price it seems worth it. If you want a really good cube (Zhanchi/GuHong/LingYunV2) it would cost about 3 times that.

I had one of those Ghosthands when I averaged about 1:30 until about 45 seconds (when I got a ZhanChi). It is fine and will feel amazing if you are moving from a Rubiks brand, but as I got a little faster (when I was trying to sub-minute) it started to pop like crazy. But, for the price, it is great, and you can always get another cube later.

[asianjoechoo99]

I have been cubing for 3 months with a Rubik's brand and it's fine, quite fast actually, but I'm planning to get a better cube once I sub 25-40. What cube should I get?

Try a Ghost hand or maybe a shenshou.

 

[Cheese11]

Try a Ghost hand or maybe a shenshou.

Any Dayan cube that he see's fit.

 

[TheGoldenBear]

[god of rubic 2]

Guhong 2.

For sure.

 

[CJF2L 1]

Guhong 2.

For sure.

i agree guhong2 ALLTHEWAY

 

[sneaklyfox]

Is Guhong 2 definitely better than Guhong 1? How and how much?

 

[god of rubic 2]

Is Guhong 2 definitely better than Guhong 1? How and how much?

How, I believe its smoother, pop less because of the torpedoes. The plastic is different so it gives a different feel. The Guhong 2 core is better and it's just beast. Smooth and slick. But some people might think otherwise, just personal preference.

When I said pop less, I meant it will never pop, unless you do something stupid.
