[Review] Shengshou 3x3 v1

[Sub20MinSolver]

Turning:the turning of the shengshou is slow but it is a really smooth cube with a slight bumpy feel
Corner cutting:the cube can cut 45 easily if tensioned properly but has no inverse corner cutting so lockups can be a problem,also the corner cutting is very snappy (is that a word?) so that may throw you off a bit
Pops and corner twists:the cube doesn't get any huge pops but it does get a lot of edge pops which is very annoying also the corner twists don't really happen in solves
Overall:the cube is ok for beginners like me but still I recommend the aurora or the wind over this one
Ps:I know that the cube is very old but still wanted a review of it in the forums :v

So I ordered an Aolong v2 on ebay, and got some other cube instead. Turns out it's this one... So while I'm waiting for the correct cube to arrive I've been using the Shengshou.

Completely agreed with the review -- no reverse corner cutting and edge pops happen a lot. But hey, it's better than rubik's brand, which is the only other cube I have so far.

God I hope a proper cube arrives soon :rolleyes:
