Store cube pops too much

[malcolm]

My store-bought cube has become too loose and pops too often, any way to prevent this?

1. Turn more precisely.
2. Get a new cube!

But this cube is so nice otherwise.. and I've put tiles on all the pieces.. Is the problem with the pieces themselves, the core or both?

My oldest speedcube is a storebought. I find it rarely pops. Maybe yours is older than mine.

Everyone should get a storebought cube that's too loose XD

You could always use it for OH or see if it is adjustable

Buy a new store cube and pop the pieces and replace it with your old/used pieces.

So the problem with the popping is with the core, not the pieces being worn down?

 

[*LukeMayn*]

no its the core because the centres have streached out more like a loose diy. get a new core (including centres) and use that with worn out edges and corners.

Are you sure it isn't broken or anything?

 

[malcolm]

No, it seems intact to me. My last one broke though, one of the center caps snapped off from the axle and made it stupidly loose.
