So I just got back into cubing and I'm wondering if I should main a fast cube (tianma) or a slower cube (yoo cube) cuz I have both and I need to hit sub 20 again. On my tianma, I have higher tps cuz its faster but I'm also more likely to make a mistake and turn by accident since its so easy to turn. On the yoo cube (pre set up wrm 2021 lite) I turn a little slower and I use more force but I have more control. H perm is easier on tianma. Thanks for the help!
 
I agree with the previous statement, however, I do believe that a cube that has better control would be more beneficial to you and your times. If you overturn on a cube that is too fast, it can mess up a solve.
Furthermore, if you use the really fast cube, you can develop certain turning habits that won't apply to the slow cube.

The thing is, the fast cube can be slowed down with lubricants. So you really will want to pick what feeling you prefer and you will want the cube that best fits you.
Since you average above 20, do an ao25 on each cube and see which one gives you better times. If you feel rather adventurous you can do an ao50 on each cube as well.

Thank you! My yoo cube is now a bit more broken in and faster which is better for me so I think im sticking with it for now
