Nope, in my experience the 55mm Zhanchi (or any Zhanchi really) doesn't really pop unless you don't know how to turn it. If it does pop out of the box then tighten it until you get used to it because it is a very fast cube. None of my 55mm Zhanchis pop at home but when I get nervous in competitions and don't turn as well, they do. But it's only happened twice Overall it's still a very good 3x3.

Mine pops occasionally if you do silly corner cuts, but for solving, it's fine.

Pretty much this

For a 3x3x3 what would you say is the fastest method of solving?

The one you're used to. Methods don't have speeds

Depends on which one you prefer. A lot, if not most people, use CFOP including the WR holders which doesn't really mean anything but many people find Roux or Petrus more intuitive and therefore it works better for them which results in faster times than they would get using CFOP. It basically comes down to personal preference. There is no one fastest method.

I agree, i have seen you have multiple posts the past couple weeks in a few threads which looked very helpful to beginner cubers. Awesome job!

Bumping!

Just tension it like you would a 3x3. It is the same basics. If you don't know how to tension a 3x3 properly, here is a video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlumT6dX6K0

Good luck!

what is the easiest way to perform M moves?
sometimes i use my left index finger or just shift R and L to do it
but i was wondering if there was an easier or better way

 

[Rocky0701]

I just use my right index finger and push the edge from the back up to the front up.

Takes a while to get used to, but it's fast and means any U moves are really easy to do after any M moves.

I know this is going to sound weird, but wouldn't playing puzzle games (like bejeweled, tetris, etc.) help a little with look-ahead if you play them at high speed?

Im sure they would. Many things that are barely related can effect each other, like if you play football you might have quicker reaction time driving a car or something. Nothing will improve your look ahead as much as solving though

yeah i think so. even things like typing, playing a musical instrument, etc. will help both dexterity and look ahead.

I'm getting faster at typing and texting because of cubing.

Me too, but it is probably because i post on the forums too much haha.

Me three! But I'm also a programmer so that may have something to do with it...Anyway I just wanted to chime in here and say that I used to play a lot of Tetris and I think to a certain extent it helped my look ahead. But of course like Rocky said, nothing can substitute practice.
