Many people like to call it "Type A". Me too.

Maybe he bought it before the name changed.

How to stop any cube from popping: Turn more accurately. Shelley told me that and it's true.

If that your theory of stopping popping then I highly recommend this mod. Not only does it stop popping but it can't cut corners very welll. It also makes it turn extreamly fast.

Ive been using an alpha 3 with all original springs and screws for nearly 18 months, and ive never had a single pop, even when im fully forcing it...
and for the record it cuts like a dream, but no reverse cutting like a dayan

yea, the A3f is an anti pop machine. David Woner + My A3fs have popped exactly one time cumulatively with 10000+ solves.

i just tried this mod in hope that i would be able to speed up my only speed cube. i love it. yeah the corner cutting now sucks but i can get used to it. in my opinion i prefer the speed way more and it will be nice if pops do not occur. I know that most people dont have the original alpha cube (type a so people dont yell at me if i am saying it wrong in any way at all. i dont want to get started with that) however if you do have it. it is pretty much like an not horrible but not great storebought. this just makes it so much better. it glides like my void cube now and i am pretty used to that so i think i will be able to handle it. This will definitely do until i get to the point where i lose my laziness and buy the alpha V i have been wanting to buy.
