I often read enthusiastic posts about cube X or cube Y.
But:
1) Quality is not a constant.
2) It depends on personal preference or dexterity (mood...). For
example I liked the soft plastic of Studio cubes a lot, but I can't
use them because of the "pop" factor. But Studio cubes are perfect for
other cubers.
There's no such thing as a perfect speedcube.
I agree that the perfect speedcubes from the eighties are a myth. By
the way, I remember Jessica telling me that one of the reasons why
speedcubers are now faster may be the quality of cubes regarding speed.
I would recommend buying a Rubik's DIY cube. Because you assemble it
(with screws), you'll get something that's at least good enough.
My problem comes from the 4^3.
I bought 4 cubes, and they're all good for nothing.
I wanted to practice to get faster, but with such a piece of crap, I
can't average sub-90.
Fred Badie and Frank Morris told me they were given very good cubes in
Toronto, still usable and fast.
Mine become loose after 2 weeks!
I give up.
