Cube Hybrids/Combo's Discussion

[Unknown.soul]

Type F pieces + DS core is good, you can also try it with an A core (I didn't like the "floatyness")

 

[samsung4123]

doesnt harris chan use DS core and centerpieces with F cubies?

 

[JTW2007]

I use A core and C cubies now. It's nice. It pops a bit, but it's not bad. Needs about three days of breaking in though.

 

[waffle=ijm]

My 2H cube is pure type (A). I'm not complaining.

my OH cube is
- old type (a) core
- new type third model (a) screws, washers, centers and corners
- rubik's.com DIY edges

sound weird but its ok for me.

There is already a thread about this. here it is......

i don't get why people post things like this. what's wrong with getting fresh information?

They can use that thread to post fresh info, it isnt that hard to search for a thread........

fair enough

@original thread prompt:
i don't have a hybrid yet. the other day, i tried to make one using a storebought and a puzzleproz type A (the only cubes i have.) i disassembled both cubes, and noticed 2 things:
--type a core is obviously better, by default (adjustable tension)
--storebought edge cubies are smaller
so, i thought, why not use type a core w/ storebought cubies? alas, it failed. it turned wonderfully, but the disproportionately tiny edges caused it to pop far too often.

OMG!! I use the EXACT SAME hybrid!!! What are the odds of that!!! That is my main and only speedcube... But i really don't like it cause it locks up waaaaaay too much... Also, my cube has 5 YUGA screws and springs and 1 DS screw and spring!! Because one of my screws are bent... O_o

I love my cube, it's very fast and cut corners very well
my screws and springs are yuga, all of them

regular storebought springs

Store boughts don't have springs.

 

[Hadley4000]

I am so sick of hybrids. My 3 best cubes are,

type A cubies, center and core.
Yuga(D) cubies, center and core.
C4Y cubies, center and core.


Seriously, hybrids are so over rated it's not even funny.

DIY Rubik's cube, with the metal rings in core, instead of the plastic rings with cubesmith stickers

Wow, that's a nice Hybrid. I've been using the same, but Type D corners, not Rubik's, and that was an amazing Hybrid. Gonna give this one a go

I couldn't disagree with you more.

 

[d4m4s74]

type F core, type F edges, type F corners and c4u springs/washers/screws

regular storebought springs

Store boughts don't have springs.

They do have springs, but they are somehow useless. When I turn a store cube, I hear the "springy sound" of the spring scraping against the plastic.

Yep, I can confirm that they definitely do have springs.

I agree with Hadley that hybrids are overrated.
(with the exception of type D + A core cube)

My two cubes (after my really good storebought got smashed):

2005 Rubik's DIY
Type D + Old A Core combo.

I think it was Lukemayn that came up with the Type D + Old A core + Storebought edges hybrid? I don't like that one because it can't cut corners that well and pops too easily.

 

[holypasta]

For me it's every thing PuzzleProz black type A with storebought corners and it is BEAST.

really? i tried it, and it felt no different from pure type a.
(i don't like type a.)

Mini BUMP, but whatever.

I tried cubeforyou pieces with rubik's.com DIY core/centers/screws/springs/caps, and it is amazing! It feels kind of like the cubeforyou DIY, but smoother and faster. It cuts corners very well, and rarely pops.
