has anyone tried out ds hybrid combination?

i just finished assembling my type A third model but without the tabs. compared to my type E it still pops a bit buit can cut corners better and it really feels light

i tried switching the centers of my type A (III) to type E, this includes the screws as well.

now it barely pops and still can cut corners (almost 45 degrees).

this may be may main speedcube for now.

My main speedcube right now is a DS - F hybrid - DS core and centers, and Type F pieces. It's loose, cuts corners, and doesn't pop at all. It's a good 2H cube, and a good OH cube.

If you've got a type F, I highly recommend this. I haven't tried out your combo, though, I don't have a Type A III.

really? i might consider buying a type F soon..hehe

stickered or painted stickers for the DS?

I never understand it when people say their cubes can cut corners over 30 degrees. Show me how that is possible.
45 degrees is when the middle of your corner hits the middle of the center. It would not move at all on any cube, it's physically impossible.
You measure degrees by looking at the black triangle that is perfectly hidden when the cube is aligned (0 degrees.)


Edit:
0. make sure your cube is at even tension.
1. get the cube at a big angle, pull down 1 layer gently and only apply force on that layer.
2. do this until you get to the angle where you can just barely pull down that layer. (no cheating by applying even the slightest force directly on any other layers or allowing pops.) For example, I adjust U face for my reference of the angle and apply force by only dragging down the R face.
3. return cube to that exact position (taking a picture with camera can help.)
4. measure both legs of the triangle accurately! You should probably use mm and measure to at least 3 significant digits.
5. apply arctan.

For my cube, I got arctan (11.5/22.5) = 27.0 degrees.

I have trouble seeing anything over 32 being possible.

so i now i tried measuring my cube to which it can cut corners without trying to force it too much

and i got arctan (9.5/18.5) 27.18 degrees.

so thats how you measure it..some math stuff eh..haha
