Guys I have just found out I guess a "mod" that will hopefully make all the GuHong haters love the GuHong!!!!! All you have to do is switch the GuHong core with a type A1 core. The reason why most people hate the GuHong is because it feels unstable and it overshoots. Well, I was one of those people but when I switched the cores, the GuHong became stable like an A5 or FII and it did not over shoot! It actually slowed down just a bit but it was to fast with the regular core anyway, and now its at a perfect speed! Now it is stable. fast but not to fast, does not over shoot, is very controllable(At least for me) and still has the wonderful corner cutting! I also forgot to mention that it does not lock up! Also it does not pop. I did over 100 solves with it when I put the A1 core in it and it did not pop at all! Before I averaged 23-27 with the GuHong before the "mod", but now I average 17-24 with the Guhong after the 'mod". I don't know whether its me or the cube is now the best because when I changed the cores, everything about my opinion and the cube changed.........So if you have an old type A laying around, use its core for the GuHong!
 
could u use a type A 5 core, or c4u core?

Not sure, didn't try, but I'm to lazy to.......But maybe it will, I don't know. I think any core would work better than the GuHong core because I think you can agree with me that they suck :) But the A1 core changed everything for me:)
 
I'm a bit worried some people may disagree with this but oh well. It worked for me so why not give other cubers some advice from my experience :)
 
Mikey,

Can I ask by what mechanism you think this mod improves the cube? Is there a big difference in in dimensions of the plastic core of the A1? Are there shorter "arms" of the A1 core so it pulls the cubies more snugly to the frame?

Did you change the screws and springs as well?

I'm not sure how this mechanism works because my original core wasn't working out with the cube so I just used the core of an unused cube and apparently the GuHong became better. But yes, the A1 core is smaller than the original GuHong core so I think this makes everything fit better and closer to each other which makes the cube more stable and to not be so loose where it is prone to over-shooting. And no I did not change the screws and springs because they were fine. The only problem was the core.
