[Help Thread] What cube should I get?(3x3/3BLD)

[bldcuber314]

I saw there was a 'What cube should I get' thread but the last post was over a year ago so I figured people had just switched to posting new threads. Honestly I would prefer a thread to discuss this anyway over it getting buried in another thread.

I'm looking for a new 3x3/3BLD main. I previously mained an X-man Tornado V3 Standard, and occasionally switching to a GAN 356M. Both of these are now old, and aren't very good anymore. They also have issues with pops/twists.

I want a new cube that is fast, but not ridiculously fast. I won't have a fixed budget, just to be open. I also want it to be hard to make mistakes on during BLD exec, and ideally comfortable for 3-style(so moves like RUD, M,S,E).

I heard the GTS3M is good for 3BLD. For 3x3 it depends on what you like, but according to your previous mains, you will probably like the RS3M V5, or the WRM V10 Spring version

Honestly, I do use the Tengyun before but I do want to get a new cube since It's quite old.
The Tengyun does have corner twisting problems but not that often.
It is used by some top class solvers but you could use the GTS3M as it is in stock in some stores. It's also used by Tommy Cherry (current BLD WR holder).

I've heard good things about Moretry Tianma X3+ for blindsolving. Not sure which version(s) though.

The Tornado V3 Flagship is an amazing cube, there is also the V4 Flagship that I’ve heard is amazing. The MoYu WRM v9 and v10 are great as well. (My personal favorite is the V3 Flagship)

For a fine price: Perhaps the V4 Flagship would be a good cube, or the DaYan GuHong Pro would be good too.

I got one in December 2022 and the core broke, but I got a replacement one in 2023 and it had held up great ever since

good for you, i had to buy two cubes because i cant get a replacement core here (TC kinda expensive in the Philippines)

Wow, I had the Tornado V3 from June 2023 to March 2024 (gave it to my cousin), and the core never broke. Instead, there was this plastic piece on the corner that kept coming out.

my first tv3 lasted about a year until it broke. Then when i got the pioneer UV, it broke in a month(both were tv3 pioneers)
edit: i would recommend the tv3 if it didn’t have breaking issues
