For people who don't want to watch a 10 minute video,
Materials:
Ghost Hand, Type F (old).
Method:
Dissasemble, and take off the centre caps of both cubes. Switch centre caps. You cannot do this because the centre caps are different sizes. Get either blu tack/sticky tack, or maybe some cardboard, to fill in the gaps. Note, this is unnecessary, if you do this hybrid before stickering cubes, and if both cubes are the same colour plastic. It is unnecessary anyway, if you do not mind having different centre plastic and/or sticker colours.
Reassemble Ghost hand with type f cubies. You now have your cube. Reassemble the type f core with the ghost hand cubies. This is just a backup cube which may be no good.
Nice, I will certainly try this if I get a ghost hand, as my main speedcube is my old type f. (bought of someone, with any 2 opposite colours switched, grr....)
I love the type f, except it doesn't cut corners well, so this looks like a good hybrid. Thanks.

Would you be okay if I posted that description in the beginning of the thread?

That's fine. It was just a quick little description. I could've made it a bit more detailed, or more easily followed, but yeah you can. And you can edit bits you don't like about it.

Well it cost you at least one viewer (not going to watch 18 minutes what could probably be done in three).

I don't mind loosing views so much as long as people get the info. And now you can, because theirs a summary right below the videos.

Is like a crappy ghost hands, slower and with less corner cutting. Also the gh caps are too big.

Ok, I'm really sorry everybody, but I just figured out why my hybrid clones weren't working. It's a YJ 3x3 for cubies, not a Type F. I confused them, because I hybrided one and sold the other near the same time and they look similar. I'm very sorry about this mistake, and any problems it might have caused you.

lolfail. No wonder it doesn't deteriorate. I was like "Hang on, I didn't post in this thread! Why am I saying this has type F cubies? It says in the first post they're YJ."
So...yeah. I might buy these cubes and check it out. I still have way too many 3x3x3s to buy.
Off-topic: Does anyone know where you can get a type B? Only for collection purposes.
