I tried one at world’s and it seemed decent, I am not a cube master so take this with a grain of salt but to me it felt rather loose and floppy. I think that is adjustable though (correct me if I am wrong) the colors were nice as well ---

I think that is adjustable though (correct me if I am wrong) the colors were nice as well interesting. Could be similar to a Gans based on that description. Edit nvm looks like a bad aolong with harder plastic. ---

Ha, I’m pretty slow and I haven’t timed myself. I’ve only solved 7x7 a handful of times so far and I’m slow on last 2 centers and my lookahead during edge pairing sucks. Also, this cube is really big! My Yuxin 6x6 seems TINY after handling the 7x7. The mini 7x7 would probably be a better choice for speedsolving. ---

I’m not that educated when it comes to cubes, and I don’t know anything about cube lube. Can you lube a cube using yo-yo lube? I really don’t want to have to buy more lube. Also, are there any household alternatives? Thanks! ---

Ordered the air. Should be here in a day or two. I just finished doing a serious sanding on my shengshou 4x4. Just a little (or big, rather) experiment to see how much sanding effects turning. Corner cutting seems to work a little better, but it’s a bit sluggish right now. I relubed it and am breaking it in again. ---

had a 11.95 single with the air today. If i remember correctly that is not my record, but is pretty close. I really like the air so far. The corner design seems genius. edit; it is my record after all; yay [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/cubing-corner/28161.md?page=81) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/cubing-corner/28161.md?page=83)
