Just got my $5 Cubicle gift card from podiuming at my last comp, any purchase recommendations? (although I'll spend a little more than $5)

Lol I got 7 dollars for my podium.

Alright, good idea! I've only used my RS3M 2020 for like 9 months. Is the regular one good?

Get the ball-core, UV or not-UV doesn't matter

Erm idk if I'll be able to get it with how expensive it is, are the cheaper ones very different or worse?

I've tried all versions.

The standard and maglev are ridiculously fast - way too fast (U6 fast)

The ball-core helps control it and if you're going to get the huameng, get this one.

The cheaper ones are very different and they are objectively way worse.

If you can save enough money to get the ball-core, get it. You won't regret it.

Ok, thanks. It's my birthday in a week and a half so I'd ask for it and also use the gift card, but I'm also wanting to go to a comp 4 and a half hours away as a present. So I might just use my own money if I have to, seems like a good investment (cubing related, that is)

I think it's a great investment, as you probably won't need a cube for around a year-ish, and $26 isn't terrible for one of the best cubes, if not the best on the market.

Gan 12 exists
YS3M has a much better price though. Definitely get it.

 

[baseballjello67]

Gan 12 exists

For me, the Gan 12 is a bit too catchy. It's a good cube, but $78 for a cube is a lot. It was my main from August 2022 to January 2023.

It is quite expensive and a bit catchy. The YS3M is much more normal.

@NigelTheCuber do you think I should get decent at 2x2 and Skewb for the comp lol. I average like 5-6 seconds and sub-20 seconds respectively.

Yes.

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

Sadge, my parents said no to the comp. There's literally no chance of me getting into the other one, and I have no idea when there will be another comp nearby, and that there'll even be good events.

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

I just came to the depressing realization that I only know 14 OLLs . Also I've been keeping an eye out for comps, but my next one probably won't be until summer.
