Another type Alpha v mod

[TemurAmir]

Guys, stop arguing over the best cube... It's personal preference, it's like arguing over which genre of books are the best (like my analogies? )

 

[radmin]

I have the Haiyan Memory.
The edge tabs are still on it. It never pops or locks.

I also have a Ghost Hand 2, It locks a lot.The plastic is too thin to mod.

I love my alpha 5. Hate ghosthand

Same here.

Um, Alpha 5s suck. So. Hard. They pop like friggin' hell.

Did you mod it? If so, did you shave the tabs down? If not 1.) your cube might be too loose 2.) You have a weird cube 3.) you have an unusual cubing style.

Yes, I did every mod I could. As stated before. The cube just isn't good. IMO, GH or ShengEn are both better.

If you shaved the tabs down. That's your problem. You shaved the very thing that prevented the popping.

It popped before that, anyway.

Lol I've tried your cube.

It has screws for a reason. Tightening.

Anywhoo, the point of this thread was to show another mod. Not to argue over the quality of cubes.

True, true...
I had it set pretty tight then, I think. Comparing to other cubes there, it sucked.

No offense, but It doesn't need testing. My AlphaV is amazing, WAY better than any ghosthand; maybe not an FII though. I still don't have one. Honestly, People don't get how tight you have to set this cube to get it to not pop, but it will still be fast. Yeah mine pops, but all DIY's pop sooner or later. This was supposed to be a about a mod(that makes the cube crappy imo)

Epic mod. I'm going to buy an Alpha V just to do it.

I did it but as it is still a type A, it sucks.

Awww crap... After reading this thread, I regret placing my order for my Alpha 5 cube. brb, razorblade. At least I know not to shave the tabs down.

 

[Sherwood]

My Av is amazing, way better than my FII lol

 

[lorki3]

My Av is amazing, way better than my FII lol

This thread was about the alpha v mod not alpha v vs fll

Is the new mold already released?
And is it good enough to release formally

Don't. Everyone has a different style. I think most people who have the AV like it. Hell, the world record average was set on it.

I've felt good/bad A-V's and good/bad Fii's. It's all in how you have it tensioned/modded and variability in quality from manufacture. Both can be really good.

 

[Rayne]

I like Alpha V a lot better, but it seems that F-II is the overall favorite.

FAIL that is just modding it to a haiyan's memory. The first mod is not very good, those tabs help keep the cube from poping.

No.
I took those tabs off and it reduced locks and pops.

I've kept mine as is, and it's nice, loose, fast, and NEVER pops. I love those tabs.

Yours was bad until I made you tighten it. Then it was nice.

I would still tighten his, but that's just me I guess.
