I don't think there are "professional" cubers. Just the top cubers like Nakajima, and Erik. I think the use DIY's. It is not only about the cube, it is how much they practice to be the top cubers

4x4
black eastsheen
-tight
-locks up too much
-lubed with shock oil

Why would you use shock oil if its tight?

I use a cube that rotates freely and that cuts.Most of the times I am not even the owner. I do not consider myself a Pro

because it feels nice.
I'm getting a mefferts shortly anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
