[Help Thread] Puzzle Choice Thread

Go with whatever cube you want. SS wind is a very good cube especially for the price. You may want to try some other cubes to see if you prefer them. If zhanchi feels fast, then there's no reason to force yourself to get used to it if another cube feels better. You could also try to slow down your zhanchi by overlubing or by washing the lube out and see if that helps.

whatever cube you want. I dont really know what cube would be good for you, but the cube that you should get doesn't depend on what you average.

Should I buy a stickerless guhong lone goose, or stickerless zhanchi? I want a cube that is easy to control (doesn't overshoot to much)

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Do you want to ever compete with the cube?

Guhong is more smooth, but zhanchi is more clicky. Both are fairly controllable imo.

 

[Lchu613]

And get it stickered

Guhong. Hope you know that stickerless cubes are illegal in competitions.

 

[Infernado]

I don't go to competitions. I will probably get a zhanchi, but if there is a reason that the guhong v1 is better, I may change my mind.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

It really comes down to preference. I like the zhanchi better along with lots of others.. but there are just as many people on this forum that will say the guhong is better.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Guhong v2>=Zhanchi>guhong v1.

 

[Skyplateau]

Also guhong v2's are much quieter

 

[Infernado]

Also guhong v2's are much quieter

Okay, thanks for the advice everyone.

How can anyone recommend a cube they haven't even touched yet? I imagine it will be pretty good, but I'm not going to assume that it's going to replace my zhanchi main that I've spent hours with and can't find fault with. Until it's in my hands and blows the zhanchi out of the water, I'm going to reserve judgment. Just a few weeks ago, the PanShi was supposed to be the next great thing and CBC made it sound like it had potential to replace the zhanchi as his main. The hype does not always equal the reality.

yea, that's true. There's only a few videos on it, and now it's the next big thing. It looks quite nice though, but I think I'll hold off on buying it until my Panshi comes, so I won't be spending so much money in one month, haha.

shengshou megaminx or dayan?

 

[Ooi Yan Qing]

shengshou megaminx or dayan?

get shengshou if you like a smooth and controllable cube, get dayan if you can control a megaminx very well because it's very fast

My question:
I'm looking for a 3x3 to practice my accuracy of turning, what should i get?

 

[TheNextFeliks]

I can get two cubes. Getting a shengshou 4x4 for sure. What else should I get? I was thinking a 50 mm Zhanchi for oh or maybe a skewb. Or maybe a cuboid. I would like a wittwo but they are out of stock on amazon. I have square-1, pyraminx, megaminx, and 2-5.

Depends on the amount of money you have to spend.

A screwdriver. (Option 1 - Tighten cube so it can't do as much corner cutting. Then practice. Option 2 - Loosen cube so you have to be accurate to avoid popping. Then practice.)
