No doubt the most innovative and best Square-1 on the market! Being the first square 1 to implement florian cut holes, it allows for superb corner cutting never before possible with previous square 1s. Though the top and bottom layers are a bit slower this proves to be helpful in controlling the accuracy of your turns, however the slices are extremely fast which gives you nothing to complain about. The only con this cube has is the tendency of the pieces to jut out of its place but they never entirely pop out of the cube. This can be annoying at times while solving but eventually they'll go back in its place if you just keep on solving. However, there is a very simple modification that can be done with gluing the bar inside the "slice" mechanism to the rest of the ball core, that remedies this popping issue. Bottomline, even though it's not yet entirely perfect, I say with no hesitation that it's the best square 1 yet to release to date and proves to be suitable for all skill levels, even those beginning.

This is the best Square-1 on the market.  It is a couple dollars more expensive than the other ones out there which is odd for QiYi which is usually the cheaper manufacture but either way it is completely worth it.  If you are not used to one it will feel a  bit locky compared to a 3x3 but for a square one it just cuts through almost everything.
