Do They Need All the Latest Cubes?

While our young people might disagree, the answer is no. Some of the top cubers in the world use relatively cheap cubes.

The original Rubik’s Cube brand tends not to be used in competition as it is not as fast as some of the Speedcubing brands such as GAN or MoYu (a MoYu RS3 M 2020 is less than £10 and a good starter speedcube). A timer and a mat might also be a useful investment.

Beyond that they will need a cube for each type of event they want to compete in but it is worth seeing if they enjoy competing before buying every type of cube.
