SoupTimmy tries a champion's cube, then changes his touch
Wang Yiheng's PB Cube gets a hands-on test that reveals how much the solver matters alongside the hardware.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Trying the World Champion’s SpeedCube
Owning a champion's cube doesn't mean it will immediately suit your hands. SoupTimmy discovers that in "Trying the World Champion's SpeedCube," his only upload of the week, which has drawn about 122,000 views.
The orange packaging reminds him of a Reese's box, but the more consequential surprise is inside: the cube hasn't arrived adjusted to Wang Yiheng's preferred settings. Timmy takes the included tool and changes the tension and elasticity to match. That is when the experiment gets interesting. The loosened cube feels so flexible that his turns repeatedly lock up.
Rather than simply turning harder, he eases his touch. Algorithms initially slow down, then his solve times improve as he adapts. His verdict makes a useful distinction: experiencing a world champion's setup is one reason to own the PB Cube; choosing an everyday cube is another. He points to the Super AoLong as his alternative.
The comments extend that discussion into viewers' own hands. One describes deliberately keeping a GAN cube very loose; another talks about getting used to lockups on a new Weilong. Others ask for more tutorials, including a viewer who credits Timmy's teaching with helping them learn to solve.
Across the channel, subscribers grew by roughly 30,000 over seven days, although daily viewing is currently below its usual pace. Mr. Spray and Serena Neel are having especially busy weeks in the wider crafts-and-creativity neighborhood. For SoupTimmy, older uploads remain the most active: "Did he cheat???" draws the largest daily audience, followed by "Someone's phone rang during blind solve…" and "Who had the best Trick?" The new review offers something more specific than spectacle: a small demonstration of why better equipment and a better fit aren't necessarily the same thing.
