Review of MoYu AoLong (v2) + Solve

Just uploaded my first review video for MoYu AoLong (v2) to my YouTube Channel. This is my first review, so please give some comments on how to improve my review further. Sorry about the muffled voice! :p

My Main Speedcubes

Here are my main speedcubes. They are all really nice.

3x3: MoYu AoLong v2
It is fast, slightly bumpy, but has excellent corner cutting. It does not corner twist too.

2x2: DaYan ZhanChi
I don't have the MoYu LingPo, but I don't need to because the DaYan 2x2 is excellent!! It has the ability to corner cut 45 degrees, plus it is quiet and smooth.

4x4: MoYu AoSu
Although this is the only 4x4 that I have, I am confident that it is the best 4x4 on the market as of today. Fast and smooth, it can corner cut 1 cubie with ease. It rarely catches and does not pop as a result. However, I need another 4x4 for a backup. If you have any 4x4 recommendations, please post a comment below.

5x5: ShengShou
Again this the only 5x5 that I have, so I also need a backup. If you have any 5x5 recommendations, please post a comment below. The ShengShou is smooth, but can only corner cut one cubie. It easily catches and pops. However, it is a fast speedcube.

3x3 one-handed: MoYu AoLong v1 54.5mm / DaYan ZhanChi 50mm
Both are small and I alternate between the two. Both the ZhanChi and the AoLong is fast and corner cuts well. :)

There you have it!

A Christmas Present

My father bought me a new Rubik's cube as my 2014 Christmas present. It is the MoYu AoLong (v1) 54.5 mm. Another cube to collection. Hooray!!

Review of 3x3 Speedcubes

Hello, today I am going to review some of the top speedcubes.

DaYan GuHong
This cube is the second of DaYan's six 3x3 speedcubes. It is very fast and it does not pop very often. Lockups do not occur, but there is one flaw: the corner cutting. It can barely cut 45 degrees, and reverse cutting is about average. However the M slices are great on this cube. Overall this is an excellent cube for beginners, but not so for the advanced ones.

DaYan ZhanChi
This cube is the fifth of DaYan's six 3x3 speedcubes and is, in my opinion, the best cube out of the six in the series. It is very fast, has good corner cutting and has no corner twisting. It is very quiet when you are solving it. However, it does pop. This cube is excellent for amateur speedcubers.

MoYu AoLong (v2)
This cube is amazing. Out of the box it may seem sluggish, but after lubricating and tensioning, it became excellent. It does not pop or corner twist. It is buttery smooth and bumpy. In my opinion, this cube might be better than the v1. Perfect for advanced cubers.

My Road To Speedcubing

Hi,

I am XB Cuber!

This is how I started speedcubing..

When I was six years old, my father passed me a Rubik's brand Rubik's cube. I must be wondering what this colourful cube is?

My father did not manage to teach me how to solve a Rubik's cube.

I was 8 years old when I picked up the Rubik's cube again. Google explained what a Rubik's cube is and what is speedcubing about. After that, I learnt how to Rubik's cube via YouTube.

When I was able to solve the Rubik's cube using the beginner method, I convinced my father to purchase a DaYan GuHong online. As a result, the DaYan GuHong was my first speed cube. As of now, my father have bought me the following puzzles:

• Rubik's Magic
• 2x2: WitTwo -> DaYan ZhanChi
• 3x3: DaYan GuHong -> DaYan ZhanChi -> YJ -> DaYan Stickerless -> MoYu AoLong (v2)
• 4x4: MoYu AoSu
• 5x5: ShengShou

I started my first Rubik's cube competition, Singapore Open 2013, when I was 9 years old. You can view the video in my YouTube Channel.
