    That intro... editing skills! 🤯
    It's a great cube, specially considering the price. But I still prefer the WRM 2021 or the Tornado V2, as they fit better in my hands and are more adjustable.

    • @CubeManYT
      @CubeManYT  Год назад +4

      Ayeee!
      Yup, the cube is great, but with other cubes offering more advantages for almost the same price, it’s hard to recommend.
      Although the WRM and Tornado feel great as well, tough choice…😅

    This cube was my main for roughly 2 years, I loved it at the time but now after advancing my technique and my turning style changing I use a more advanced "zombie" cube made from parts of the GAN 14 and 13. I also decided to buy a brand new 356 M and noticed that throughout the years, the matte coating on my old cube had gotten extremely slippery in comparison, and much much slower over time due to wear on the internals. It's a great cube, especially with the new Maglev version releasing, however it just doesn't fit my turning style anymore as I tend to over turn quite a bit and lock up a ton on the good old reliable than on my newly built custom cube simply due to the magnet strength and old piece track design. The 356 is amazing for beginners but the newer technology can help you get just that much faster once you're more advanced, upgrading and practicing with the newer technology brought my 12 second ao5 all the way down to 7 seconds. It's really trial and error with what cube suits you at what time. But the 356 M is definitely a great starting point to really find what you like.

    I just got mine today, found a store that sells it with discount, and managed to grab one for only 9$. It's worth it and it turns extremely fast even in the tightest setting, you can pretty much do U2 with one flick, although the reason I bought it is because of the black internals, it looks amazing. It's a great cube but there are other better options.

      Yes. Your right. I bought the Tornado V 3 Pioneer and I bought also the Huameng Ballcore Maglev UV 3x3 recently. From the Cubicle. I think this Gan 356 M. Is just about as good as these. When I do PLLS for practice especially G Perms the transition is so smooth and Corner Cutting is Great on this 356 M.

    I really like the quiet sound and stability of the 356m, I don't like really fast cube as they easily become uncontrollable to me because of my turning style. I'm thinking of upgrading, should I go for Tornado V3 or Gan 13 maglev? I heard the Tornado V3 is very quiet but I also heard the strongest magnet setting on the Gan 13 is really good and make it very stable.

    • @CubeManYT
      @CubeManYT  Год назад +1

      Hey! I think both the Tornado V3 and Gan 13 offer significant upgrades and are both really good.
      Personally I would go for the Gan 13 as I am used to the feeling of them and the 56 mm rather than the 55.5. Also the Gan has better corner cutting than the tornado v3, so if you have a tough turning style, I’d go for the gan.
      But you can’t go wrong with either!

      Both Cubes are really good! However there are other choices as well, like the WRM, Ys3 M and other cubes by moyu.
      If budget is not a problem, go with the one you’d like most, if not, it truly depends on you turning style.

      Both cubes are great, however, the Moyu Super RS3M V2 is newer and offers a bit more in terms of performance. The 356M has its pros and cons as well, but it is slightly older.
      You can't go wrong with both, but I would oct for the newest as it most likely has the performance you're looking for!

If that’s not a good idea what should I wait for to buy this?

    • @CubeManYT
      @CubeManYT  6 месяцев назад

      Hey!
      Buying an advanced cube in the first phases is not wrong, it only means you won’t use all the advantages of the cube, and by the time you will, there’s going to be a better one. So there is no said date or record to get a new one
      At the moment, I would recommend the RS3M V5, Ball core version, as it has a better performance for a lower price, it definitely won’t let you down! The 356M is not wrong, but it’s starting to be outdated.

      Hey gleepe! Thanks a lot!
      The gan 11M is much more worth it than the 356m and that’s because of the features it offers and the increased stability it has thanks to it’s core magnets. So it is a bit more “futuristic” than the 356 m, but both are very very good!
