I know this is the third thread with this name on the forums, but I didn't know where else to post it. I'm looking for a new 2x2 main, my Dayan Tengyun V2 broke yesterday(it popped and the corner stalk snapped when I put it back in). I really liked the general feel of the Dayan, and might be my favourite 2x2. However, it has popped quite a few times and corner twists as well. This might be my rough turning and not the cube, but I'm not sure. Which 2x2 would you recommend?
Main options-
Dayan Tengyun again or Plus- Would the Plus have better anti-pop?
Gan 251M Pro- How good is this cube and the anti-pop?
Gan 251M Leap- Most sources say this isn't really worth the extra price, and I don't want very strong magnets.
Any others you would recommend? Thanks!
 
I would go with the Gan 251 pro. As I said in another 2x2 thread, I’ve had it for maybe 2 years and it still works like it’s new. There are 4 different GES nut options which is really nice, and there are 3 different magnet settings. You’re right, the leap is too expensive, I don’t have it but it probably doesn’t have as much value as the pro even if it may have a few more adjustment options. anyway, the pro has been a great investment for me, and I’ve never had to buy a new 2x2 speedcube, and don’t plan on it anytime soon.
 
IF you can find a Valk 2m, get that. I’ve been using mine for about 3 and a bit years. The only time I’ve gotten a corner twist was when I had it super loose. BUT it’d be really hard to find
