Would you rather get the hong 5x5 or v6 but no ballcore cuz it’s a big price drop
@xdgrdxrunsuu it really depends on how much you're willing to spend. If I were to pick, I'd go for the single track V6 unless you spend the high price on the double track V6
For me since I have always liked x-man stability then it was the logical choice for me. I actually had the chance to try all 3 in a conp that were setup, and the hong inpressed me the most, of course this could be just the setup itself, but still
@@some_random_dude13 Hong is definitely a viable option and a great cube!
Amazing review! Thank you so much!
Love this comparison!! It was very helpful and informative.
Advanced but helpfull, thx
Update: I have a setup one headed my way! (Double track)
Im getting into big cubes currently and i was contemplating which 5x5 i should get and this video helped me alot, thanks
@loverindsjö222 glad it was helpful!
Thanks! This helped me determine wether to buy the auchong or the Gan considering I have the hong
@ProVolleyballer6 glad I could help!
Setup?
@@TheRoadsideMf weight 5 and silk
@nathanchiem17 THANKS
should i get the double or triple track for the v6?
@@jfskewbing I'd go with the double
When rubicks copies swiftcube
Do you think someone who wants to start 4x4, but needs a good cube should get the Aosu, or the Meilong 4m, or other cubes. BTW, my hands are pretty small and my budget is about 20-24$, but it would be nice to get a cube lower.
@awexchocolate go for the single track V7, it's just clearly better than anything else
@ thanks
Thanks! I’m trying to get into 5x5 and didn’t know which one would be best.
@@awexchocolate hope this helps!
it‘s not 2025 lil bro
for the people watching in 2025 lil bro
Almost
gan is the way to go. i love the puzzle, it doesnt feel like its going to pop during a solve
Nice vid Nathan ! Also do you have any tips for sub 50? I’m plateauing at low 50 and don’t know what to do
@Tito_decorazon7771 could try slow solves to work on solutions and lookahead
@@nathanchiem17alright thanks ! Good luck for the sub 50 grind lol
When Rubik's makes a good cube:
RS3M V5?
@WildScaryFox yes
@nathanchiem17 is it your main?
@WildScaryFox it's a contender
@@nathanchiem17 what's your setup? Mine kinda sucks lol
@WildScaryFox I've got some weight 5 and silk in mine
I've tried various setups in the past on many different cubes. Yet i always come back to the angstrom setup. It's the best setup imo and i use it for everything
My friend got one and it's so good omg I want one so bad
Thanks for the comparison Nathan! Where can i find tutorial on the dorito mod for the hong?
@@mcakaboy my pleasure! You could probably do a RUclips search on Meilong 7x7 V2 Dorito mod, the idea is exactly the same
Love the video it was so helpful
@firepotato5777 thank you! Glad you enjoyed
Spring compression makes the hong much faster
@CubingChaos-Liv444 I can imagine it but I don't really want to deal with hardware modding if a better option exists for a very comparable price personally
Yeah true it’s just that I don’t have the other two
The Hong is still a great cube as long as you enjoy it
Does the hong pop easily and is it easy to setup
@Fitbit-n3d none of these cubes pops easily, the Hong just locks up quite a bit more than the other 2 cubes
@ alr I’m getting the hong cuz I like uv and Gan is just expensive for me but what lubes would you use with the hong The lubes from scs btw
I also have the Dayan 5x5 so do you think it’s similar to the hong
@Fitbit-n3d I don't have the Dayan but I've tried it. I think the feel is very similar to the Hong if I remember correctly, but don't quote me on that
As for setup, I used an angstrom setup. With SCS lubes, you could try Weight 1, lunar and stardust. You will have to wipe out the factory lube and don't overlube the inner layers
I love using the GAN. It's so stable, and just better
I got a GAN 562 UV and it is my favorite cube… but it was kinda a steal when my friend traded a 100% keyboard and a used graphics card for it (I can just buy a new one)
thx bro. What do you think the cubes compare to the original wrm aochuang? I want to get a wrm
@AS174-q8l all 3 cubes easily clear and are much better than the WRM. I'd probably go for the V6 if I were in your situation as the V6 is probably closest to the WRM as expected
@@nathanchiem17 I have a fascination with using cheap and old cubes. Also i saw tymon using it before the gan.
@AS174-q8l I get you, it's pretty cool to use old hardware. I just don't think it stands a chance anymore against 2024 hardware
@@nathanchiem17 btw this video actually helped. I've tried all 3 cubes but haven't chosen one. This helped me choose my new main(I main the valk)
@@AS174-q8l glad I could help!
I love 562
Interesting, I have a 562 and I've never experienced it eating lube like crazy.
@WildScaryFox could depend on how much you use it
@nathanchiem17 it's my main event lol
@WildScaryFox good choice
@@nathanchiem17 tank. What's yours?

Will Single track add ballcore be worst than double?
@@Whitecrosscubing they will be exactly the same
This video is so useful for me to find out which 5x5 cube to buy!!! 😍 (I average 14 minutes)
😍
Just wondering, what is a someone's global average?
@anderscubes global average is what you normally average. For example if you average 10 on 3x3, your global average would be 10
@@nathanchiem17 thanks
How did you fit it in the moyu robot?
@@Cubersome 4x4 robot
there is a much cheaper 4x4 by Moyu that came with a robot, and it's roughly the same dimensions as the v7 so it fits
Do you know about the ball core vin cube? Have you tried it? How does it compare to the v7?
@YotYot I have not tried the Vin Ball Core. I am very confident that the V7 is better however but I could be wrong
v7 is definitely better, though i personally have issues with the size, it's still a lot better
v7 is better, vin is shoddy at best

doesnt the stackmat say 3.45?
@@kingtasaz it's a downsolve 😂
in the video he does the solve a second time, so obviously its gonna be better as hes familiar with the scramle, so he got a better solve on cam than the real pb
