Hi, I've been wanting to start OH more seriously but it is pretty hard since i have REALLY small hands. I have a Gans 356s V2 as my main but i've heard that if I get my index (pointer) finger and put it on a layer, it would be a good OH cube if they are both the same size, which it is not (about 4-6 mm off). What cube should I get and what size?

Thanks!
 
I have larger hands, according to your measurement I could easily turn a Gans 356. But I don't like the 356, I find it too unstable for OH, and also a bit large. At that size I go up 1mm for the YueXiao because I like the more stable feel, clicker turning, and that it has sharp edges. I'm not sure why I like sharp edges on my OH cube, I think it makes the R' and U moves easier to feel.

I ordered a 42mm stickerless Zhanchi on a lark, thinking my hands were too small. I like it, once I modded it so it stopped being too tight. Sharp edges, small cube, pretty stable in the hand. At the worst, you'll have a great pocket cube.

I expect I'll eventually move to a larger cube, but I'm figuring out what I like slowly. Enjoy the journey, and realize it'll probably take you through 2-3 cubes minimum. OH is a hardware intensive event. You REALLY want to like your OH cube, because you don't have the extra strength to make up for it not being spot on.

basically your best bet is a weilong v2 but if that is still too big the next would be the 50mm zhanchi if that is still too small you should get your hands checked.....
