Oh yeah, you're right about GAN's plastic stem. The reason I mentioned the plastic was because I've seen some videos and posts about broken V10 stems, which raised concerns about the plastic quality. But yeah I think if it isn't a factory defect it isn't likely to break. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtylnaty1N2qgqs.htmlsi=3Es744cGhDZ143jJ www.reddit.com/r/Cubers/comments/1d7qbcs/comment/l75qx67/?

Thank you!

Both are amazing!

I have both as well, they've have a very different feel, if you can do both, then buy both!!!👌🏼

Thanks!

Nice!

Thank you and welcome to cubing! If you are relatively new to cubing and you are looking for a great cube, I'd recommend getting the "Dayan Guhong Pro M" or the "RS3M V5 Ballcore UV"! Both cubes have good but user-friendly adjustment systems + a ballcore (which makes the cube stable + has core magnets). They offer flagship performance without the flagship price! The GuHong Pro M gives a very smooth turning feel. The quality is also great, it doesn't break easily as it doesn't have many fancy features that other flagships have (like adjustable corner magnets). You can also hand-adjust the tension which is very convenient. The appearance isn't as shiny as other flagships because it doesn't have UV coating, but I like it's look. You can also choose from 3 different sizes and 2 different systems (spring or maglev) depending on your preference. One down side though is its corner cutting not being one of the best (but it is still pretty good), but I think this isn't a bad thing for a new cuber, because you can practice turning accurately and form good habbits! As for the RS3M V5 Ballcore UV, I don't actually own the cube but it has a very good reputation. A lot of top cubers use it as their main cube. Another reason that I suggested these 2 cubes before expensive flagships (Like V9, V10, Gan 12, Tornado V3) is, their performance might be 'too good' that you might get too used to their powerful corner cutting ability. And you know it is like when you buy a pair of $1000 headphones, you probably won't like $500 headphones as much. I still enjoy my GuHong a lot and perform very well on it, but V9 and V10 are just more forgiving when I do timed-solves. That's why I suggest getting a more premium cube as your 2nd or 3rd cube! I made a review on the Guhong Pro M before, if you need more information about it please watch it! Good luck and happy cubing! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rs-Ra7R8mbXLfJ8.htmlsi=K8Tzx1QP_dDIPsM-

If you want to choose between V9 and V10, then I think the V10 Spring Ballcore version would be better for you. V9 is better for cubers who turn aggressively, and its magnets are SO strong. Ever since I started using V10, my fingertricks habbits actually improved lol. And Spring ballcore is probably a better choice for you as Maglev might be something you wanna try after trying springs, in order to feel an 'upgrade' feeling.

@@JusTwistCubing thanks so much for your reply and your guidance. I really appreciate it.

You are welcome!

I think the V10 still has pretty strong magnets, the auto homing feeling is very obvious. Just weaker than V9 imo because the V9 basically just smashes every turn lol. As for maglev, I don't have the spring ballcore version V10 so I can't really compare. But I think Maglev should make it smoother than the spring version. Unlike the V9, the V10 has some friction in the middle of a turn, so having Maglev instead of springs should be better imo. There are some comments about V10's maglev vs spring here! www.reddit.com/r/Cubers/s/8u6JA3UiQX

I have the Tornado flagship version, and as a V9 main, I prefer the V10 over the Tornado flagship. If you are like me who enjoys the way V9 turns, I am not sure if you will enjoy the Tornado as much. Cuz the magnet strength is much weaker (even at strongest piece-to-piece magnet strength), and the turning on Tornado has more friction (it feels like you have to make a complete turn to move a layer, whereas with the V9 you just need a push). I am not sure how different the pioneer is from the flagship though so I am not sure if my comparison is relevant. For the V10, I didn't enjoy it that much at first, because it feels very distinct from V9. But after almost a month, I actually enjoy it a lot now and get similar times on both cubes! Hope that helps!

@@JusTwistCubing Thank you! Flagship is probably very similar to the pionner so it really doesn't matter. I had a chance to test an pionner before. It had a TON of lubs so it felt soft but kinda hard to turn. As by now, I have just like 3 3x3, so I don't have any references of turns and all of that. Because of this, I was "sad" buying the version 10 of the same cube as I have, thinking that, aside the new adjustment sistem, it would be the same cube. It's like buying an IPhone 14 and then an IPhone 15. Now, knowing that v9 and v10 are a lot different, I'm ok at buying it. For this reasons and that breaking v3 core stuff, I decided that i'll buy v10. This helped a lot!

Yeah I was surprised by how distinct V10 feels compared to V9, and more surprised by how both cubes have become my main (depends of if my hands feel tired). If you are looking for a cube that feels different then V10 shouldn't disappoint you even though they are in the same series! Probably another thing to consider is that the V3 came out in 2022, we can't really tell when the V4 is arriving. Im glad it helped and good luck!

Actually the plastic stem itself shouldn't be a problem normally, but I have seen some comments and videos about their V10 breaking due to the plastic stem (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtylnaty1N2qgqs.html, www.reddit.com/r/Cubers/comments/1d7qbcs/comment/l75qx67/?), which rarely happens to metal stem. If the cube you receive isn't a factory defect, then it shouldn't be a major concern. However, when comparing the V10 and V9, I would say that the V9 has a lower likelihood of breaking.

Thanks and hope it helped!

@@JusTwistCubing Yh It did. It turns out the v10 is not the best for me. Imma just sit back and wait for the next moyu release 😂 (I main the GTS3M💀)

Oh, next moyu release, not gonna take long 😂 I have seen many people who said the V10 feels like the Gan 12, although I don't have the Gan 12 so I can't really tell. I loved the GTS3M!

@@JusTwistCubing I have a friend that has the gan 12 and from what I've seen the v10 feels and sounds different and so I doubt they are similar. But the pieces look the same though. The gan 12 has a stronger corner-core magnetic strength and the v10 has weaker corner-core but edge-core that repels, hence a more natural and rounder feel than the Gan 12. I am not personally a fan of the Gan 12 or any Gan cube in particular cause of THAT DAMED HONEYCOMB TEXTURE! I mean it not too bad but it really means a lot to me 🤧😅. Yh Moyu be breeding cubes like 😂.And by Moyu release I mean the next Weilong. I think the Weilong's are Moyu's flagships. The GTS3M.... Hmmm 🤔. You like it?!....Well it's not too bad really...IN ITS TIME THAT IS! Back then what more could you ask for?It had everything; anti-pop feet, springs, DUAL ADJUSTMENT! I think it was the best cube at the time but now due to circumstances.Let me share my experience. I had the opportunity to main the Tornado v3 and the WRM maglev. And I must say I was amazed. I first started with the Tornado since it was hyped and I clung to it because of its very smooth feel with the lube setup I used. It dropped my average from 17 to 15 and I was pretty excited when the lube ran dry my friend (The owner of the Gan 12, the Tornado, the WRM and the lubes) Decided to 'Angstrom' the cube.BIGGEST MISTAKE 💀! I told him I didn't like Angstrom that I had 'Angtromed' before and it never ended well.(Yes it's a real word 😂)He said he still wanted to do it since he used it for his Gan 12. Long story short it was soo 'SLOOW'. I hated the feeling. I hated cubing at a point 😂. I even stopped 💀My average was back to 18 I got frequent 23s😞😵‍💫. Almost depressed 😂.He said he wasn't lubing it until a few weeks passes 😭. During that period he gave me his WRM to fix.He purchased the Magnetic core kit and put too much glue within the pieces and the cube won't even stay together anymore. I removed the core and did a few solves on it. ✨👌🏾. It was the best. It was a little dry since he hadn't used it in years but I feel happy with the turning It got me back to my usual time. It had that 'Weilong crunch' 😂 that The tornado seemed to be lacking. Later I thought of the Idea of putting his spare Rs3super mag core in the core. He was very reluctant at first but eventually gave in. It was Bliss✨. He claimed the Mag core doesn't work but it did when it mattered most, the distance was very much so the strength of the magnets were weak.Then he allowed me to pick the next setup for the cube which I'm an expert in lube combos. Long story short I SHATTERED ALL MY PB'S AND EVEN HIS AVERAGE.I now average 13, I was on a streak 🔥 He averages 10. At the point I beat his old PB ao5 by .3s which was 9.1s .Well school ended and I had to give him back the cube 🥲 He was a senior so I wouldn't be seeing him next year. I am back to the GTS3M 🤧 and also averaging 14 I am very grateful for him 🙏🏾. Main Points/Take Home/Summary -I can't continue with the GTS3M -Never Agstrom a Tornado v3 unless you are ready to pour Dnm or lunar or any other fast lube in it. 👌🏾🤞🏾✨

😅 I sure said alot.

That's a great price wow almost like the price of a GuHong

@@JusTwistCubing yeah it's why I ordered it. cuboss had a sale on it, that was the price including shipping.

@@thomb.9013 This value for money is crazy

I am planning do to it maybe within a week! If it works successfully I am definitely sharing about it in my next video!

Hi! The video is here! Hope you enjoy it! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNKFZpiIuOCtqIE.html

Wow thats a big win lol

​@@JusTwistCubing i dont actually like blocky cubes + v9 With heavy lubes set up gives pretty good feeling to the cube and like what you said the cube is smooth but uncontrolable sometimes + after using it for around 1 week i made it my main, btw cool editing keep it up😊

Yeah V9 out of the box was so uncontrollable for me as well but after a few days I was smashing my PBs lol. Thanks and hopefully I will keep up the quality!
