Your best speedcubes.

its all a matter of personal preference ... my 3x3 is fine for me, but as ive said I will be buying a Dayan something... later this year

i prefer buying storeboughts for a few reasons :
1. im in the UK so shipping costs a ton, i bought most of the type A's whilst i was in america last summer
2. the shops and stalls i buy them from let me test the cube before i pay so i can tell if the cube has any potential in it
3. royal mail dont take any care over packages that say fragile on them, so half of the internet bought cubes i have are damaged before I receive them

Yeah I know that it's down to preference, "Down to preference" is my SS slogan more or less ;) I just really respect the fact that you still use those cubes, I have them and used them a lot when I first started out. But my hands started to hurt all over again when I read those names in the order you posted them. Especially ES 2x2x2...

It's just that you're much faster than me and are still burdened with what in my eyes is mediocre and strain full hardware :(
Although I haven't tried your storebought, which might be something special I guess. Hard to accept that though.

On the positive side; you're gonna loose at least a few seconds on your 3x3x3 time when you switch to a dedicated speed cube 3x3x3 :)

No disrespect intended btw.

Kind regards,

H.

fair call, reckon most start with a storebought, then when they get sub 30/40 mayeb then switch to a much faster cube... which is only natural, hardware is holding you back so you upgrade...

on the flipside, ive tried fairly up to date "good cubes" and no matter what I do with them, they are only good enough for OH

my Rubiks storebought has been modded extensively to make it better: edges filed down to make them more A5 like, corners smoothed out, and the core is now ajustable, core lubed with vaseline (dont have any lubix), pieces lubed with silicone

the shocked face sort of made it looked like you despised the fact but fair play that you respect the speed that can be achieved with cubes renouned for being quite bad :)

no disrespect taken :)
