Out of the box this cube was a bit tight and felt pretty stiff. After a bit of tensioning that was fixed. This puzzle has a very smooth feeling and flows well. It's biggest issue is the catches and lockups, this puzzle catches a lot more than any 5x5 from the past 2 years (during the time of this review). Corner-cutting is average for a 5x5, it gets that annoying typical 5x5 lockup we see on almost every 5x5 due to it's design. Reverse corner-cutting is non existent. For it's cheap price, this is defiantly worth the money, but don't expect it to be your main. This would probably be something to look for to use with stuff like modding, mosaic, etc, not speed solving.
