Speed Cubing

Hi, I started cubing two years ago now i am improving times and growing my cube collection.
here is a current list of puzzles in my possession :-
2x2 Rubik's brand cube
3x3 Rubik's brand cube
4x4 Rubik's brand cube
Rubik's Twist Tm
Dayan Zanchi 3x3
Dayan Zanchi 3x3
Right now my collection isn't too impressive but i plan on getting a mega minx, 5x5 and a few others.
If you may know a year back a brand new cube was released by Dayan called the Dayan Panshi, It seems to have a similar mechanism to the Zhanchi except that the core is smaller and the stalks of the pieces are thinner, it even has tinier torpedoes. It is also regarded to be not so great at corner cutting due to the reduced size of the torpedoes but it does go up to about 35 to 40 degrees before the center starts to spin and the cube explodes. So you should tension it carefully. Unlike the Zhanchi it only comes in one size (57 mm) whereas the Zanchi comes in 42 mm 50 mm 55 mm and so on. But overall I think its a fine cube for both beginners and speed cubers.
