This was so much sluggish and there was no corner cutting at all when I bought it. At one point I thought this was waste of money. But after swapping shengshou 5x5 springs and lubing and tensioning this cube, it became SUPER FANTASTIC. I started loving the feel and control of this cube. Moyu should improve their 6x6 quality and they should not make the spring change a must. Overall ,it is a fantastic cube.

This is probably the best 6x6 out there! It feels nice in your hands, and it looks nice as well. Shades are normal MoYu shades (which I love). The only real problem I had with the cube was the popping. It happens about once every five or so solves if you are not careful. It MAY be my tensions, but I don't want to make it tighter than it already is. The pieces that normally pop are the pieces in the second layer. Overall, it is a very great cube! I would definitely recommend it.

It's a great 6x6 but a big issue that I consistently have to deal with is the pops that are mostly caused by lock ups.

out of the box, the shengshou 6x6 was slugish , locked a lot, and had occasional pops. And lube (lubicle speedy) did help, but not much.

However, this cube truly shines after you replace the springs with the ones from a dayan zhanchi. This mod may sound strange, but the inner layers become significantly faster, and the outer layers are absolutely uncontrollably fast. After tightening the cube (to slow down the outer layers) it was still very fast, comparable to the shengshou 5x5. The corner cutting is also comparable to that of the shengshou 5x5. However, the extremely tight tentions that I needed to use means that the cube almost never pops. The cube can easily out preform my friend's aoshi (though I only have the one to compare it with)

for the mod, it is reccomended to keep the cube in the box as you unscrew it (so that it doesn't fall apart, and you don't need to assemble a 6x6)

In summary, horrible out of the box, absolutely incredible with 57mm dayan zhanchi springs

This is a very good cube. It's very fast for a 6x6, and is relatively stable for one (it does have some lockups and it feels slightly flimsy). I personally find it hard to tension, but that might not be the case for everyone. Overall, I would definitely recommend this cube.
