The reason why I constantly get DNFs is because that my cube can't support my "fast" J perm. And buying another 2x2 isn't a good idea either. I'm not allowed to.
Well, in my opinion (though I'm not fast whatsoever) is that you're gonna need good hardware to get faster at 2x2. Turning quickly is a must.

hot dang these times are good
anyway, i feel as if these times are more suitable for 3x3. d moves, l moves, and b moves are often not allowed for 2x2 scrambles.

The new plastic Dayan cubes aren't good. Only old plastic, and those are quite pricy. These days most people say there are much better 2x2's. I use a MF2S. Its a great budget cube. Any Pro Shop/Cubicle Labs/Cosmic/Supernova 2x2 should be quite fine. But if you want to keep all your body parts, I like the MF2S and the Wuxia/Wuxia M is considered a very fine 2x2.

My local internet cube store doesn't have that much cubes. But I will try to find a good one. Note: I'm not allowed to use internet stores from other countries.

I use a Fangshi Xinghen, but other solid 2x2s include the Wuxia, Chuwen, Gan249, and Weipo.

have you tried switching to t perm? im more comfortable with them

I, personally, can not do a T perm on a 2x2. I’ve really tried. I also can’t do the <RUF> J perm, I opt for the <RUL> one instead. Come to think of it, my Y perm isn’t exactly lock-up free either :p
