Unveiling of the most anticipated V-CUBE 3

[Michael Womack]

A Rubik's 3x3 has a lot of potential because it is the worst cube out of the box EVER. You can't improve a Dayan as much because it's amazing out of the box. You can't do many very significant mods with a Dayan (maybe 2 or 3), but with a Rubik's, you can:
Sand cubies down
Change the core to an adjustable one (I hope I spelt adjustable right)
Lubricate it
Some smaller mods
And probably more I can't think of.
And what is your way out of curiosity? I could make my old storebought a little better.

nope simpler just do this and after that lube it

I know away to make a brand new Rubik's 3x3 to be close to being good as a dayan 3x3

You must have a really bad Dayan.

Rethink about what you said was the first 3x3 you owned a Rubiks brand or Dayan brand

When I started cubing, Rubik's was the only cube you could buy. Dayan simply didn't exist. Even when the Rubik's DIYs were available (the only DIYs at the time, BTW) the cubes were pretty bad and required a lot of working in. If better cubes were available at the time, I would've bought those for sure (since I lurked the cubing community at the time).

Good for you? I remember when the first non-Rubik's DIYs started to become available online.

I've only had a few minutes to watch it as I need to go to work, but so far it seems to me that, a few minutes in, you are giving those cuts a tiny little help with your left index finger?

Even then though, it seems a lot smoother than mine just turning it, might give it a shot when I get back from work. Cheers for posting.

face it – everybody starts with a store-bought, whether we want to or not.

I just want to point out that I didn't start with a Rubik's brand (and I wasn't told by anyone not to buy them; just got hold of a cheap ghost hand clone because it was cheap).
Furthermore, everybody I have influenced into cubing (I would say speed solving but... they're slow) usually listens to me when I tell them to buy a guhong DIY kit because it is cheaper and better. I would hope that I'm not the only person who's done this.
I'm not trying to start an argument, I just thought it might be news to you that not everybody starts with a "store-bought".

not unless you get a friend into cubing and give them a cheap DIANSHING 3x3
