Would it be wrong....

[randomness...]

maybe your cube is too smooth. one time, i transferred from a stickerless RS3M (with frosted plastic) to a stickered one (with glossy stickers) and i immediately started getting about 3 to 4 second improvements (40 to 36 seconds). glossy plastic or stickers are the way to go.

ive been having this problem with every cube

Is there anything on applying an outside source of grip to your cube?
Ex. pine tar etc.

There would be no point… it’s not like having better grip gives you better solves. If that was the case, cube companies would’ve been doing this for years. But hey who am I to know everything? Try it, I could be wrong.

it ended up with me not dropping the cube every 3rd solve.
its not a matter of fast, im just tired of dropping my cube

I see, understand, and agree.

For me it does, my hands sometimes slip (more often on skewb, pyra, and 2x2 than 3x3) mid-solve, messing up an algorithm or causing me to drop it and not know what orientation it was in (for 2x2). It wouldn't help turn faster, but it would increase times.
