Your link and New third model(a) are the same cube and it is really really fast and never pops. It's also light weight.
I just posted an average of 12 with that cube in video section if you want to see it in action.
I really can recommend it. I just got a second third model type A cube today, because my girlfriend wanted one too

Oh, I forgot to say that you can buy it from here too: http://www.dealperfect.com/detail.dp/sku.24563, that's where I got this second one.

Please take care of it. If you're not careful, your edges will snap.

 

[JTW2007]

Type A Third Model = Type A (III-F) = New Type A III =/= Type A III.

 

[Faz]

JTW = The a3f is different. My friend has one. It has type F corners or something weird.

But it is extremely fast and cuts corners well. Maybe it's a bit too loose, but that can easily be fixed. It's pretty amazing.

 

[pappas]

The a3f has a3 corners and f edges. Dont know what the core and springs are though. It's really smooth cuts corners pretty well, but it feels completely different to any other cube. It feels completely different to any type a,c, or d.

 

[blah]

32.40 PLL time attack done on this cube. It's less than a week old. Can't be bad

 

[Zubon]

Does anyone know which type this one is?

http://popbuying.com/detail.pb/sku.24563

I think it is the A III-F because there is a small stick of plastic running across the hole in the hollow edge pieces. If you look at the sticky explaining the different types of type A cubes, one with this type of edge is not in there.

I got it but it was so bad....Worse than a dollar shop cube. It often locked up and made cracking noises when it turned.

I tried everything but it is still quite bad.

Maybe I just got a bad one?

It is what it says. Same cube as A III-F

And in that sticky, it's the New type A III. But like you said, there's a small stick instead of clear hole in that edge piece, but I'd say it's the same cube.

I've been using this cube 2-3 weeks now as my main cube and I absolutely love it, but I can understand that some people don't like it.
Maybe you should try Type C or something if you don't like how this one turns and sounds?

They're the same cube, like I pointed out in my post ?

 

[LeeKJ]

ok thanks

im not sure if the people are telling you the right thing. if the a3f does have f edges, it definitely does not show in the picture.

for all i know a3f has a misleading name. i think it is better to name it new type a 3 ver.ii. this is because the only thing different between that and the new type a 3 is the extra little thin spoke of plastic bridge the gap in the edge pieces.

intuitively, it doesn't seem to make any difference in the cube... how can a thin piece of plastic that does not actually contact any friction points or moving parts change the feel of a cube? yet, when i tried it out, it felt different. but im not sure whether the different feeling comes from the color or the extra piece of plastic. it seems that different colors of the type new type a 3 use different plastic. the main difference seems to be between the "original" version and the white/black versions.

original: http://www.dealperfect.com/detail.dp/sku.24561

the original seems to be made of lighter and smoother plastic. i own the black new type a 3, and i tried the original new type a 3 ver. ii.

either way, the edge pieces of the a3f (new type a 3 ver. ii by picture) are definitely not f edges. also it is clear that the only different (by picture) is the thing little piece of plastic. the naming is misleading for even suggesting that it has anything to do with the type f... unless the cube delivered is different from the cube in the picture!

the new type a 3 needed a lot of breaking in to be good. so i would think that it would be the same for the ver. ii.

the one in the link is the new one.

here's a picture that explains it all:

the ones on the bottom are old type A, type A II, and type A III
the ones on the top are:
NEW type A I/Type A I-F/type A second model on C4U
NEW Type A II/Type A II-F/Type A third molde on C4U
NEW type A III/type A III-f

the reason why the so-called Type A second model is A I-f instead of A II-f i'm not quite sure, but that's how c4u used to calls them (in the old shop).


so basicly
NEW A I = SECOND MODEL
NEW A II = THIRD MODEL
NEW A III ≠ third model

BTW the second model's anti-pop design is a faliure.

 

[JTW2007]

JTW = The a3f is different. My friend has one. It has type F corners or something weird.

You sure? I just ordered two A III-Fs from C4Y and both were identical to the Type A Third Model/New Type A III. I don't really care what the name is though, all I know is that the cube in question here is beastly.

Well, I'll be trying it again on sunday, and will tell you.

 

[Zubon]

I guess that just by looking at the pieces, you can tell that it is the F model, it has the thin "spoke" crossing the hole in the edge piece.

I thought AIII-F was some brand new cube, but I got this type of cube accidentally, when I made an order 16.3.2009 from 9spuzzles.
And now we have 2 of them, because DP had these ones.

 

[LeeKJ]

ok so III-F or new III or new third model?
