I buy only from this site.. free shipping ;) Wholesale Dayan Cube,Guhong/ZhanChi/Lingyun Cube 3x3x3,4x4x4

BTW do some research/review on different cubes(on youtube) , I always recommend Dayan cubes(50 mm ones. but there are different sizes available).

Well bought a cube 2 weeks ago . When bought it was in solved state . Did a mistake by unsolving it :p . Now i have been trying all these days to solve it with no luck . :pullhair:

open it up, set the pieces again into solved state and carry on.
NOTE : the Cube may get weaker and may even break off dont put excessive pressure while opening and assembling it again

how is the funskool cube...I think they have paper/sticker attached for color (which is not good),Does dayan cubes also use plastic stickers?

There are lots of rules in official competition. one of the rules is that you get 15 seconds to analyze the cube before solving. Clock starts ticking once you remove your hands from the timer.

Funskools cubes are okay.. but takes ages to breakin (become smooth), If I get a Funskool cube then I usually mod the cube, by disassembling it, filling the edges, lubricating etc. BTW I have noticed that there are cubes available from other manufacturers (Chinese). I noticed that they have white body.

stickers undergo wear and tear, chipping etc. there are custom stickers/tiles available CUBESMITH - Rubik's Cube Twisty Puzzle Replacement Stickers - Home , I use Dayan stickerless cubes as my main cube for practice. during competitions I use a Dayan black Cube.

is there category also for using in competitions or can't be used in competitions?
the website...will they ship it in India?
Yes they ship to India for free.

Why is it not allowed?
stickerless cubes are not allowed due to this rule.

3h2) "Stickerless" cubes, and other cubes whose face colours are visible inside the cube, are not permitted.

more info here.. WCA Regulations 2013

Okay.. I am not really concerned with competitions for now(or ever).

Can you point me to a good cube from that site? There are just too many to choose from. I basically just need one which I will use for looong and is very smooth(and does not cause frustration :p). I think i'll prefer stickerless.
