Unpoppable DIY

[Lotsofsloths]

I was racing a person at the Princeton open, he had a white un-poppable DIY, where would someone buy a black one of these?
(link me please)

I think the new type DIY's come only in white.

 

[Lotsofsloths]

Thats OK, but can you link me to them?

ARGG!
I want to buy the Type D, but I want to buy another cube with it because of the shipping costs, but they are out of the new type A!!

dam.. they only have a few selected colors of the NEW cube.. they should make some pink ones.. that be downn

I bought a black DIY from cube4you.com and then changed the cubies and the centercaps with an older DIY and now it's almost unpopable. It has popped only like four times since I got it.

According to Lucas Garron, they aren't actually that great. He said it's a good travel cube, meaning it is quite good for not popping, and it is very light, he said.

100% true, unless you love moving incredibly fast, (I mean like Yu Nakajima's LL fast, not sub 15 fast) but its not bad for one hand.

Yea, I can't wait till they are back in stock, BTW: any other colors than white for the un-popable one?

Well, they are great. Just not really any greater than the other DIY's.
I probably wouldn't average any worse on it than on any other cube.

In particular, I feels like it lacks a bit of the momentum a heavier DIY has. Also, the grooves that keep it on track (which is really a nice thing) have a slight tendency to prevent moves -but you can still cut corners pretty well if you handle it correctly.

But yeah, definitely a good "travel cube," in addition to being a meritable speedcube.

I would really like to buy another one to break it in more and see if I can make it even nicer. I don't want to ruin my current one.
(I'd also like to see a better-sized "old type A".)

How good do you think the new Type A could be for OH? True it would be slightly limiting, but would the ability to be looser cancel that out? (I don't have a OH cube now, and don't want to sacrifice my good 2H cube for one).

Green. Those rock.

There arnt any unpoppable green DIY's only White and Black.

 

[Sin-H]

exactly.
My unpoppable white DIY is very loose ans makes a lot of noise, but it really encourages you to do a fast F2L with delays instead of a smooth one...

Black also?
Can someone link me to that one?
I hate the white ones!(Not trying to be racist or anything xD lol, just I recognize better with the black ones. )

My green pretty much never pops.

Yeh but its not tha same design of pieces. And to Lotsofsloths the link has been taken down for the black one, you might find it in a thread on the cube4you forum.
