[Cube Equation]

I currently have a Cubetwist Square-1, but I find that it pops too much and turns with too much resistance.

So would you recommend that I buy the Calvin Square-1 or the mf8 v2 Square-1?

 

[CarlBrannen]

I don't have a (modern) 2x2, 4x4, 6x6 or Pyraminx. This is what I'll order unless you guys convince me otherwise:

2x2: Type C WitTwo II
4x4: Sheng shou V4
6x6: Sheng shou
Pyraminx: Sheng shou

Thanks for the advice.

They're probably the best choices for those puzzles.

Does anyone know a good cubeshop in Europe?

What is a good cube for OH? I am thinking about a mini cube. I currently have a Zhanchi, but it is not great for OH.

Can anyone recommend a 3x3 cube with a high weight (I like solid cubes)?

It should be silent with a good cornercutting and speed.

Mini alpha or the 50mm Zanchi.

 

[ThomasJE]

Mini alpha or the 50mm Zanchi.

I would say 55 over 50, although it all comes down to hand size.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Maybe I will get a mini Zhanchi and loosen it a lot so it turns better. My hands aren't that small but I think 50mm might be better.

 

[CarlBrannen]

Zhanchis get quieter after you sand the guts.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Or after breaking them in. Mine was said (at an event) to be really quiet. I guess.. it's broken in and lubed proper so that'll likely be it

What's the difference between a dayan guhong, Zhanchi and LingYun?

 

[Isaac Paurus]

Is the Mf8 square 1 good? I liked the low price.

 

[o2gulo]

Yes MF8 SQ-1 is good Go get it

Just don't get the green one, it looks like puke.

 

[Cube Equation]

Is the v1 or the v2 better?

 

[WBCube]

Is the v1 or the v2 better?

I'd get the v1, the v2 has that ball core which can be a gamble sometimes

 

[IQubic]

So, I want a DIY 3x3!!! It will be my first DIY ever!!! There are many DIYs out there, witch should I get? Also is the Latch Cube any good?

 

[nqwe]

Latch cube is the one of the best cubes out there.
Many records were set with it.

 

[IQubic]

No, I mean the actual Latch Cube with the arrows that restrict turn, except in the direction they point.
