i dont measure my hands xD, but my hands are small enough that its hard to one hand a normal sized cube, my thumb is slightly smaller then a cubie.

 

[CitricAcid]

I think your hands would be good for it then.

But you might want to get a Mini Type C instead, since those are slightly larger.

my C4U cube is horrible at middle slices, doing the Zeph Permutation takes me 5-6 seconds.

Type F II Pre lube/ Post lube

Smoothness/Speed: 10/12
Lockup Resistance: 9/10
Cutting Corners: 10/11 Cuts slightly less out of the box, but after breaking in and lubing it cuts at 45
