A potential way to reduce lock ups

[Thomas09]

After a while of having Eastsheen cubes, I've started to get a bit annoyed at the amount of lock ups they get. The same applies to my store bought. I've got a new type A and just from looking at there are holes in between the cubies looking from the outside of. This is because the cubies are rounded and when I turn slightly over the face I'm turning, i.e doing a very tiny U' then turning R, that it pass over it, without a lock up.

Now I'm asking:
Would rounding the pieces on my locky cubes assist the amount of lock ups they, or is just a DIY thing that they don't lock up?

Rounding is generally a good way to decrease lockups. There is a 2x2 which is very bad, and all the pieces are very square. However, my 2x2 has smooth rounded surfaces, and is very good.

square.

are you talking about Octave 2x2?
