Good beginner cube???? mabye ghost hand ll???
1)
I'm planning to buy a new cube (using a Rubik's brand now). First of all, yes i did some searching and yes, it's all subjective...
I'll think I'll go for the SE F-II on lightake. Perhaps I'll check out the ghosthand II as well, since it's quite cheap on lightake anyway... Some say the F-II has poor stickers? Indistinguishable red and orange? Others say the newer F-II's have a brighter red? Is this so?
Anyway, I'm still doubting between the A-V though. The A-V needs more time breaking in, right? I've also read that the A-V has more of a crispy feeling, what exactly is meant by that? *unsure*
Finally, how's the 3x3 white YJ? The glow in the dark YJ is said to be quite good?
2)
Suppose I'd also want a cheap, yet smooth & decent cube with solid edges/corners, i.e. without edge and corner caps (like the F-II for example), which should I get?
So nice speed and build quality, not prone to pop, the corner cutting does not have to be mind blowing though.
1) the white one is YJ VVGOO-2 (Type D II-S) and the fluorescent one is YJ VVGOO-1 (Type D I-S)
2) how about the YJ VVGOO-2? or perhaps the Ghost Hand?
DaYan has yet to be given a "type" name.
I haven't been cubing for a long time, and my favourite cube back then was D type with A core. Things I particularly liked in it: pop resistance 101%, very fast, but very controllable (doesn't overshoot, easy to do M,U-moves). It performed very well at high tension, greatly reducing lockups, but, sadly, also reducing corner-cutting.
So, what cube should I get, which has the same "feel" as D/A hybrid? I would also like a bit more corner-cutting, if possible. I also have some noname DS 222 knockoff, it's similar in properties as well as in hardware (thick screws), but it's white, and I want black.

My AV does much, much better at higher tensions than the F-II does, and after some breaking in it doesn't lock and cuts corners well.
YJ spring edition 5x5, or Ghost Hand 5x5. I have both of these and quite personally I like both of them better than my V-cube.i need a 5x5 but don't have enough money for a V-cube what would be the best alternative to that. i had a QJ 5x5 but a couple pieces broke and the yellow side is loosening itsself

About 2), so you'd recommend the white YJ over the fluoresecent?
And you mean the ghost hand type I then? Because i think the GH-II has corner/edge caps...
There are many ghost hands on lightake: http://www.lightake.com/products.do/category.155
Which one is first gen? These 26815, 26651 & 26816?
The GS 2003D is actually the 2003A right? How is this compared to the first gen? I don't like the creamy white color though.
If anyone has another suggestion on 1), please let me know.

Except if you're not a KO supporter then I actually like my Rubik's 5x5 (believe it or not. It's the retooled version), you don't really have to do anything special to make it good, just solve it a whole ton and it gets a lot nicer. And lube it of course.
