Cube Hybrids/Combo's Discussion

[Faz]

E core and stuff, F pieces is a very good OH cube, but locks up a bit.

dude, try out the edison cube..i want some feedback on some other people

lotsofsloths knows a lot about cubes..he says its really good..anyone here who own an Edison?

 

[JTW2007]

What's better, Joy or Edison?

What's better, Joy or Edison?

From what I've heard, they are almost identical, but Joy is a little bit better.

 

[Kit Clement]

The D-CAF does have less of an ability to cut corners than a Type A, but it still can cut corners, and if you practice your turning precision, then this does end up being a much faster cube.

 

[vloc15]

lotsofsloths preferred Edison over the joy cube BTW

 

[crazyasianskills]

Joy cube is better for OH, Edison is better for 2H IMO.

 

[vloc15]

BTW, i requested lotsofsloths to make a video bawt that hybrid or maybe even better cubes for thaht..guess what?? he is using an Edison cube right now..he has 5 cubes and he ranked them as follows:
1st Edison cube
2nd rubiks DIY new model
3rd joy cube
4th the D-CAF combo
5th DAF combo(that's without the C screw)

does anyone know where to buy an Edison cube?

black and white joys and edisons can be bought here:

does anyone know what to select when buying edisons/joys from tribox? it says:

confirmed(lubed)
confirmed
confirmed(lubed)(JPN)
confirmed(JPN)

Im guessing its colour scheme?

Why does it seem as if almost no one (except erik) use the type b/storebought hybrid? I tried it once and it seems pretty good, just needs to be broken in well.

 

[crazyasianskills]

I dont think Erik uses the type B/storebought hybrid. I believe he uses Type B cubies with Rubiks DIY core.

 

[jcuber]

Still, he is the only one I know of who uses that hybrid.

 

[d4m4s74]

I only made type A/storebought and old storebought/new type storebought hybrid but I prefer just type A

yeah, its the color scheme..if you want the standard then don't click the ones with (JPN)..I'm also buying my Edison in tribox.com

@ vloc15
cool thanks
are you getting a white one or black?

 

[MistArts]

I use:

(Black) Store-bought core & corners + (White) Type A edges

Pros:
Hasn't popped yet (Hopefully, it won't)
Smooth turning
Not as loud as some cubes

Cons:
Bad plastic recognition
Cuts corners at only about 18 degrees
Looks ugly

 

[JTW2007]

Type C with A core and centers + puzzleproz lube + 1 week break in = NICE. Corner cuts just under 40*. Locks up a bit the first week but then it gets SO much better. Sorta clicky though.

@ vloc15

i ordered the black..i like black cubes over white for better recognition..i noticed this during solves..but some would choose white over black but i guess it all comes down to preference

 

[JTW2007]

Okay, I'm close to a breakthrough. A core. C springs. A centers. A screws. C edges. F corners. It is really nice, but it locks up a lot. If I could fix that, it would be AWESOME. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

Sounds ugly. How about just pure C? It never locks up.
It is perfect for me other than it pops maybe once every 10 solves. I'm pretty sure I can learn to turn more precisely. I'm going to try a springless C next. It would be like a Famwealth Cube, haha. I haven't tried one for a while. That should improve my times on the 3x3 stage of ES 4x4 and 5x5.
